That car is very hard to swap. EVERYTHING will have to be custom. What few people that actually know something about the 86-89 Accord congregate at

www.3geez.com

Sign up and learn about the car, tell them diegoaccord sent you. The 90+ Accord accept that motor easily, what a difference a year makes.

So what would be a good motor to swap into this that will be easy? i was thinking maybe a 89-91 acura integra B18 Dohc. Was thinking maybe could use some of the parts from acura like axles and stuff. they look similar

correct me if im wrong, but Im pretty sure that the 1986-1989 accords accept the B-series engines WAY easier then the F's and H's
