Hey guys. I'm new on here. I just bought a 1985 Accord LX for winter to store my aero coupe caprice (www.cardomain.com/id/blkdmn666). It has the ES2 motor which I believe is a 2bbl. I've been brought up on American Muscle and still favor it. I use to dispise Hondas but seeing some people actually make a civic fast around my town changed my mind a bit. Anyways, two questions. 1: Is there ANYWAY to get to the bottom bolts on the intake manifold?! The guy i bought it from says it needs an intake gasket, and gave me the gasket when I bought it. After battling with the millions amount of feet of vaccuum line a few times, only to find the bottom bolts impossible to get to, i've given up. Any input on that? My 2nd question is, can any kind of motor swap be done on this car? After i am done with my caprice i wouldn't mind swapping out the motor and sooping it up. I'm thinking something like a b18. I am new to hondas so any input and advice is welcome. I don't know a whole lot about the different kinda of engines and what not. Thanks guys

Well the engine swap will have to be pretty much all custom. There is one guy on 3GEEZ with a 2nd gen that he swaped an A20 into. His screen name is phrenology.
