'92 Civic engine/tranny swap or engine?
First off I want to apologize to not using the search, but I just didn't know what to search for for the *exact* information.
I'm planning on buying a '92 Civic Hatchback 5 speed. I also plan to drop in a DOHC engine, but I want to know which engine I need to lok for that is a direct bolt in that I will not have to buy some expensive engine mount kit. So I guess that's my first question:
What are my engine/tranny options?
Now that I have that answer, what year cars did these engine come in?
Can I just swap the engine and use the 5 speed tranny in the Civic? This would be a big money saver.
TIA

Well, I have learned the engines that bolt into the '92 Civic:
1) b16a2 hydro changeover
2)b18c gsr changeover
3)b18c itr changeover (need to change the distr and ecu to obd1)
So now, what are the cars that these came out of? Are these all available as USDM or are some JDM only? Can I just swap a motor onto the Civic's original tranny?

there are companies out there that sell COMPLETE swaps...meaning everything you need for a swap would be there... engine, tranny, shift linkage, ecu, all sensors/hoses, axles, engine mounts etc...

At least a little research on your part would be good too. Not to be a dick or anything but what kind of car do you think an itr or gsr motor would come out of...probably an integra right??? Another thing dont tell the whole world you are buying a new motor swap for you civic then list your state and town and your full name all on the same post or at all for that matter. Are you trying to get your car stolen or something, think about it, mine was stolen 2 months ago...trust me it sucks be more discrete, theives have computers too.
