Prelude/Civic Engine Swap?
Hi there...I recently totalled my 1990 Civic and purchased an 86 Prelude just as transportation. Problem is the prelude has REALLY high miles, so I want to swap in my Civic engine with is relativly new. Is is possible to perform this swap? Any info is appreciated!

why don't you just drive the 1990 civic?

Re: Prelude/Civic Engine Swap?
why on earth would you want to do that? the prelude engine is stronger than
the civic engine, not to mention that would be a downgrade. usually you swap a civic engine FOR a prelude, not the opposite. -- Be sure to check out my site @ Http://www.the-c0re.tk. updated daily sometimes, new pix of the tanks and cats all the time. check it out!!! |

Re: Prelude/Civic Engine Swap?
Well... Although it might be physically possible (i.e. it will FIT).... I
dont think it's doable... You're out of luck, if you had an acura intergra, or someting along those lines then you might be able to, as they have fairly very similar layouts as civics. <someone@somedomain.com.invalid> wrote in message news:QxgNb.93382$JQ1.85148@pd7tw1no... > Hi there...I recently totalled my 1990 Civic and purchased an 86 Prelude just as transportation.

Re: Prelude/Civic Engine Swap?
dont listen to that gibberish, prelude engine may be stronger but it is
an '86 which means it was still carburated and 4 years older too but thats dosnt really matter because it ws not what he was asking (assuming he but lets not go there) it will not work because after 1987 the mounting system changed for all hondas and most accuras. with enough money you could make custom mounts and do a fuel injection conversion but its not worth the troubble Andrew |

Re: Prelude/Civic Engine Swap?
Thank you for the input.
I WOULD drive the Civic, but it is totalled. The entire drivers side is smashed in...it's amazing I walked away with only minor bruises. The only reason I was thinking about doing the swap was my Civic engine is a ZC model (I believe they were in 93-94 Integras) and has about 100,000KM on it, no leaks, and it runs....well...RAN great. My Prelude has about 400,000KM and runs good, but has it's problems of course. But if it's not worth the time and effort I'll just continue to run the poor thing into the ground and look for another vehicle. Again, thank you for the input, it is much appreciated :) Jordan F. <someone@somedomain.com.invalid> wrote in message news:QxgNb.93382$JQ1.85148@pd7tw1no... > Hi there...I recently totalled my 1990 Civic and purchased an 86 Prelude just as transportation.

Just because an engine has lots of miles does not mean that it is a bad engine. It's possible that the Prelude engine will work longer and better than the Civic engine. Even if it fails--you can have it rebuilt or replace it at that point in time. Another option would be to put a really great engine in the 86 Prelude that is superior to the present engine in the Prelude and is far superior and more powerful than the Civic engine.
