Uh, why? the 88-91 Prelude engines are dogs.

Buy a Gen1 B16

Which motor is it? S or Si?

B16A1 in 88-91 are a waste IMO. I'd go B17A1. Or B18A1 and build it for boost.

i meant tow it out of his garage. i was gonna pull the motor and then donate the car to the local fire dept. for their training. it seems there is no real value in that motor so the car is prob. get junked with the motor.
