Default Motor swap

I have a 1989 Honda Civic LX and well I love speed and just working on cars no matter what kind. So I was wondering, would a 2000 Civic V-Tec motor fit my car? Would it just drop in or would it need more? Computer?

hey dude, the search is there and reading really helps. people here on honda tech can become irritated with such simply searched questions.

in a nutshell, no you cannot. honda motors are basically broken down in d-series (single overhead cam) b series (dual overhead cam) and h series (dual over head cam also) and k-series(new dual overhead cam motors). the motor in your car is a d-series and therefore cannot mat up to a b-series tranny. the computer has nothing to do with it.

point of advice, always search and read around in different topic sections. there is a TON of stuf to read on. Trust me, there is a TON. posting questions like this will make you a target sometimes. dont take it harshly though, just use your brain and not your mouth.
