Default Question about a swap.

Alright, I know this may sound dumb or whatever.. But I just HAVE to ask. Is it possible, in any way or form, to put a 4AGE motor into an 89 Civic? I mean, in theory, it would be pretty badass, but I'm sure there are a million little reasons that it isn't possible. Any thoughts?

I don't even know what that motor is, but you can prolly put it in. If you can't put it in the engine bay, you can put it in the back. The other day I saw a SC 340 v8 or some **** in an EG and it moved around and did ****...

Just drop a B16 in. Even the Dohc ZC is more powerful than the gen.1 4AGE. 125hp.

4AGE lots of work < B16/Dohc ZC less work

I agree with you...The 4AGE is 1.6 dohc and is gonna take some fabricating to get in...Better off getting a 1.6 dohc zc ,,direct bolt in...

Even if it would be 20v later spec 4AGE, like silvertop or blacktop (160hp and 170hp). I would still choose B16 over 4AGE. First gen B16's arent so expensive, go for that!

Buy a toyota if you want to put 4AGE in.
