Engine swap for an 87 accord

I'm wondering what the pros and cons are of swapping a b16 or a b18 into my 5spd 87 accord LX would be. Is it possible since it's carbed?

I would love to see an 87 accord with a b18, that would be a great little car if you ask me. complete sleeper too.

motor mounts and other parts for a b-series swap are available through Place Racing, Inc.

i've heard that you woud need to get a hold of some of the fuel lines from a fuel injected 3rd gen (since yours is carb'd), but i've never really looked into it.

to do this swap, you will need mounts, which only the late PRI made, axles, a wiring harness (or rewire the one you have), the fuel return line from an LXi or SEi model accord from 86-89...

if you visit http://www.3geez.com, you will find much more information on b series swaps, along with first-had help from people that have swapped b series engines into 3rd gen accords...
