get it if its cheap, but i gotta warn you that any swap into the 87 and lower models of crx will be harder to do than the 88+ because most after market parts are made for the 88+ and you whould have to make custom mounts for it to fit in your 85 crx. But its possible if you really wanna.

well i maye be wrong about the custom mounts part, search for "1st gen swaps" and you should get some helpful info . This might help you on the mounts part https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=83475

Not true. Hasport makes mounts for this swap.

Hasport has pretty much everything you need to do this swap. Your going to need to use a cable transmission. Id say do it, a B18C5 would be such a blast to drive in a 1st gen......if your car is carbed then this swap is going to be alot of work

if you can put a B16, you can put a B18C5. The only think you need to worry about is the hood clerance. the C5 sits about 5/8" taller than the B16 at the valve cover. The rest is the same. You need to use a cable B series tranny though, I don't know if the hydro would fit since it is about 3/4" longer (left to right) than the cable ones.

somebody had a 1st gen crx with a C5 in the for sale section a few weeks back, looked great.
