i have a 1980 prelude which was in good running condition until timing belt went... belt didnt snap, just that the belt stopped and the crank gear wore like 6 or 7 teeth and some belt too. i know that its an interference motor. when the timing belt went, the car was running at cold idle (1800 rpm) and i tapped the gas normally to make the idle come down, and it went all the way down to nothing, but did not stall. i didnt feel a thing in the car, or hear anything, just revved right down to nothing. any body know if theres a motor that can swap? more power? hmmm

 

There's no direct swap, but you could certainly do a full custom swap for whatever you want.

 

old school

 

Ouch...finding another engine for a 'Lude that old is going to be hard...good luck.

And if you decide you want to part with the car, let me know.
