    Question Engine Swap

    I got a stock '89 Accord LX. I was wondering what engine/tranny swap I could get away with, without having to go all the way with messing with axles and custom mounts. I really couldnt find anything... What about the B20 or A20? Also preferabbly something that can handle turbo and is EFI... Also any good sites that has info on parts like turbo and what not would be good.. I am used to old fords and things like that.. Not too many people aroud the race track I work at is into the Import scene.

    Well, it seems that the b20 is the best choice, but would i need anything special besides just dropping it in?

    agian, read the sight. there is a shit load of info on every swap ever done or imagined for the 3g already on here. o, since you've already got an accord LX 3g then its already got an A20 and is carbed. any swap you do to your car will prob need new axles and custem mounts too. what may be the cheapest (if your car has lower miles and is in good shape) is making a coustem turbo charger for you car. you'd have to convert to EFI i think and pull alot of other stuff out of your ass. oh well, go do some more searching and less posting for now.
