Default b-series engine into '88 Accord sedan?

what do you guys think? possible or no?

i have an '88 accord lx-i. what turned me onto the idea was my family recently restoring the chassis and i saw on the title it only weighs 2575.

a b18c swap with transmission is what i originally thought about.

if chassis modification is in order, any idea how much and what kind? and where i could get it done?

it is possible, I saw pics of an maroon colored 89 with a b18c awhile back. Talk about a sleeper.

HASport was talking about making mounts for B motors into that car. When I had my 87 LXi I was seriously considering that but they never got back to me about the production of those mounts so I got a CRX instead.

B-series will fit...B16A, B17A, and B18A will be best. Remeber you'll need a cable tranny. The HAS mount kit should be avalible now too.
