Default found a eg for sell

found a eg coupe for sell today, talked to the guy and he said it had a prelude motor with an accord transmission and he things it threw a rod. it wont start he says. i say how much? he says 300 and its yours, but i wont be able to look under the hood until tomorrow (he was out of town).

id like to throw another d series in it, but i cant find anything related to the wiring it takes to swap the h series into that car.

how bad would it be to swap back to the d series? if it comes down to it ill put another h in it. and this is all according to what he says about whats in it, and im not to keen with honda parts and how interchangeable they are either.

For $300 you'd spend on the car why don't you just put another H23 in it? Those motors are pretty common and can be had almost as cheap as a D-Series. In the long run it would be much cheaper to replace the H23 short/long block then going back to D. You would need motor mounts, axles, shift linkage I believe, motor, transmission, starter, ECU, etc.

What else is wrong with it?

You'd be better off putting another H series in it, would be quite a bit cheaper too.
