So I have an 86 lx 3bbl with 220k on the block. I've never had a car with more that 150k on it. some i'm wondering what would you do. Rebuild or buy a rebuilt block, swap it something else? If the latter what would you be able to fit with out too much hassel. Any advice on some mods would be great. I live in the Sac area. So are there any good places up here on in the bay area that would be a good place to buy engines and other misc. products.
Thanks again guys.

3 bbl?!
unless thats after market

well, if it's not knock bad, or blowing out blue smoke or burning anti-freeze, and last but not least it's not a domestic.
it's fine.

hondas are pretty reliable there are someguys on here with nearly 400,xxx miles on there 3g.
and it still purr's like a kitten.

my 86 lx had over 220,xxx miles . . .
i now have a 88 lx with 132,xxx miles
