Yeah but how often do you see those actually running? With a nice new paint job that thing would be sweet. But sorry I know nothing about putting a different motor into that chassis. Probably not much aftermarket support for it

The CVCC (or Controlled Vortex Combustion Chamber) engine debuted in 1975. Offered alongside the standard Civic engine, the 53-horsepower CVCC engine displaced 1,488 cc and had a head design that promoted cleaner, more efficient combustion. The CVCC design eliminated a need for a catalytic converter or unleaded fuel to meet emissions standards. (Nearly every other U.S. market car for this year underwent the change to exhaust catalysts and the requirement to use only unleaded fuel.) Due to California's stricter emissions standards, only the Civic CVCC was available in that state. A five-speed manual gearbox became available this year, as did a Civic station wagon (only with the CVCC engine), which had a wheelbase of 89.9 inches and an overall length of 160 inches. Civic sales topped 100,000 units for this year.

1978 brought slight cosmetic changes, such as a black grille, rear-facing hood vents (that replaced the sideways versions) and new turn signals. The easiest way to tell a '78 from an earlier example is to look at the front signals: Prior to 1978, they looked like foglights mounted in the Civic's grille, whereas in 1978 they were smaller and mounted under the bumper. The CVCC engine was now rated at 60 horsepower.

Apart from a minor increase in horsepower that brought the base engine to 55 horsepower and the CVCC to 63 ponies, little changed for the 1979 Civic.

1980-1983

A new, sleeker body and increases in wheelbase and base-model engine size marked the 1980 Civic. The wheelbase now measured 88.6 inches for the hatchback (the two-door "sedan" was dropped) and 91.3 inches for the wagon. All Civic engines now used the CVCC design; the base 1,335cc ("1300") engine made 55 horsepower, while the 1,488 ("1500") produced 67 horsepower. Three transmissions were offered: a four-speed manual (on base models), a five-speed manual and a two-speed automatic.


i got the 2 speed automatic and a whopping 63 ponies they measure in ponies instead of horses man thats gotta be weak lol

Patrick86

HAHAHAH awesome! I would like to drive it just to see how slow it really is....63 ponies seriously ? :lol:

broketuner-Sol_Si

Drop a boosted K series in there! haha, that'd be kind of cool though. more realistically, paint it and put a d series in it and it'll be good to go. unique ride, I've never seen one of those actually running.

dohcVTECeg2

throw it on some crash can top mugens, some ol'skool recaros, drop it on some teins, turbo z6... damn that **** would be tight

FalkenSiR

Man, if I were you, I'd go ful resto

.Kevin.

so wait let me get this straight there is no part for this car on this forum so maybe if you go find a forum with this car so some people would actually know what it is and what to do with it u would be better off.... this is one excuse this forum has went to ****

1993civicex

lol if i restored it it would cost more for the seats than the entire car man 200 bucks u like? lol
car is so old doesnt have an engine code stamp.....idk if a d-series will evn fit in that damn pieace of **** i was thinking about driving it off a jump in glamis and leaving it so if u want it go look for it in the dessert!!!!!!!!! lol

Sly_Samba

There is a civic at the local car shows just like that but its painted a nice red and has a big block chevy in it with wheelie bars.

My friend just bought a '77 Celica and it's sweet as hell, same goes for your car. It needs a little outside work, but you've got a car that not many people have. I've seen one of those before and it was covered in dust outside someone's house ih the ghetto... haha. But you might want to consider your options before trying to add an engine.

Talk to some honda shops and ask them if they've worked on a car that year and if they ever did a swap. You could be the first person to put a b18c in that thing.

If you're going to just trash it, I'll buy from you and do a full restore. That's like finding a Toyota Corona. You just have to leave it original.

JSPECSIR

leith honda in raleigh nc has one of those in their showroom, fully restored. I havnt seen it up close but you could call them maybe they could help with info. 919-876-5432. easy number huh, start with 8 and dial backwards.

litterbox

K swap.

sohcvtec1995

Post up some more pics.. Like engine shots, and interior shots..

mattssi

It would take alot of time and money to get any newer generation engine in there. just looking at the wheelbase, you would have to have some custom axels made. Completely update the wiring and instruments. fuel supply and filtration. cooling. ect...

HatchNaPlan

More pics - and go with the full restore, no "resto modding" its ghey in an old school import. This isnt a buick

Slow EJ8

Want more pics

pumatec8

yeah...i dont k-series this would fit. i have this crazy notion that the engine bay may be too small for any modern swap. go the restoration route
