Either swap it or pull it and sell it for 1300.

the engine makes 160hp and conciderable torque, of corse being a 2.3 liter. The aftermarket support is not all that great, but as afar as a cheap upgrade...go for it, your civic will be very driveable.

Sounds like a great idea to me.
The H23A isn't the most rev friendly motor though, so be careful.
We've got 3 of them blown to **** sitting on our shelves here at our shop. all were daily driven by normal joes with no aftermarket parts on them.

yea, well im a fan of going all-motor...and im pretty sure that there isnt that many aftermarket parts for that particular engine...thats 1 of the reasons im hesitant, along w/ it being a 93 and with 85,00 miles....i dont think i would pull it and sell it...just more work than its worth IMO.....let me know what u guys think?
