i am thinking of getting one of these there is one in the paper for $100 dollars and i was wondering if it is a worth while swap for my 89 lx carb accord?
any suggestions?
the archives are a bit limited still searching them though as of yet dont know if it has a tranny to go with.

yeah i heard that the B20a will just bolt on into our cars and with the b18 you will need special monts. the bad thing is that the b20 is very hard to find since they did not make alot of them. but for 100 bucks it does not seem bad ...plan on spending 1200 bucks for the swap. also you will need to convert your car to fuel injection. carrotman has a nice write up on how to convert to FI. also read the sticky on the engine swap place..thanks

that seems like a very cheap price for a b16 motor. See what it comes with. i will be very surprised if the price is actually 100 bux.
