How's the rust?

 

very little

 

you can put the 88-89 accord EFI engine in there but obviously without the efi. The efi engine has more compression, more hp and more torque than the carbed version. check out http://www.3geez.com

you can put a JDM B20A in your 86 or a newer b-series.

I was under the impression that Place Racing (PRI) was bankrupt? No-one I ever asked could get me the mounts for my Accord, they all said they (PRI) were out of business.

 

They are out of business, but that doesnt mean mounts are not out there.

True, but most of the people at 3Geez.com (3rd gen. Accord comminty) have, like myself, given up hope of ever seeing them, much less finding some available for purchase.
