    Highly Modified A20a3 And Performance Parts For Sale

    FOR SALE: Highly modified Honda Accord A20A3 engine and other performance parts

    Will fit 86 - 89 Accord and 84 - 87 Prelude

    The engine was replaced with a rebuilt one at 160xxx miles by Craft Car Care in Woodbridge Virginia (where I work) by ASE certified mechanics. I have taken good care of it by changing the oil every 2500 - 3000 miles, and have installed nothing but brand name parts on it.

    Now the accident. I was involved in a little bit of an altercation with the back end of a GMC pickup. Needless to say, the front of my car (radiator, condenser, hood, fenders, bumper, core support and other parts) were damaged pretty nicely. My previous plan was to keep the engine and transplant it into another Accord, but I was offered the family Jeep. Since the Jeep is a 97 with leather, and all of that good stuff, I decided to give up on the 3g, since I haven’t had the best of luck with it to begin with. So unfortunately, I will be parting out my Accord to salvage at least some of the thousands of dollars I have spent on it. I suppose this is what you could call one of those “my loss is your gain” situations.

    Here I will list all of the modifications that I have had done to my engine

    Engine:
    -Four Star Engines remanufactured A20A3 bored .020 over. (800$)
    -Gude Performance Race cylinder head ported and polished with a two way race valve grind and able to withstand 11.1:1 compression ratio. (stock cylinder head ported and polished by Gude)(also the head is milled slightly with a new head gasket less than 1500 miles)
    -Gude Performance ported and polished intake manifold (stock throttle body ported and polished by Gude)
    -Gude Performance bored throttle body (stock throttle body bored by Gude)
    -Gude Performance camshaft .242 lift and 282 duration
    -This package was 1650$ when I bought it.
    Other Performance Modifications:
    -AEM custom intake with a K&N filter **this was damaged too much to sell**
    -DC sports header (349$)
    -Catco high flow catalytic converter (199$)
    -2.5 inch custom exhaust into an HKS universal Hiper muffler (Muffler 220$, piping 30$, labor 100$)
    -ACT clutch - heavy duty pressure plate with a street/strip disc (339$)
    General modifications:
    -Eibach Pro - Kit springs (brand new) (189$)
    -Tokico HP Premium Shocks (brand new in box never installed) (249$)
    -Sylvania Silver Star headlights (brand new less than 200 miles) (40$ for both)

    Here is what I will be selling:

    -A20A3 engine bored .020 over WITH Gude performance head and camshaft (fully assembled) - 950$ (about 15k miles, buyer will receive all documentation of this)
    -Gude ported and polished intake manifold (SOLD)
    -Gude bored throttle body (SOLD)
    -ACT clutch With heavy duty pressure plate and street/strip disc with about 15K miles (200$)
    -FULL exhaust with Catco catalytic converter(made for a Chevy V8), HKS Hi - Power muffler, DC Sports header, 2.5 inch piping, not mandrel, but no kinks in bends like you would find in a Meineke exhaust or what have you (400$)
    -Tokico HP Premium gas shocks brand new in box never installed (SOLD)
    -Eibach Pro - Kit springs (SOLD)
    -Sylvania Silver Star headlights (SOLD)

    NOTES- With the engine, I will not ship it, mostly because I lack the experience to ship something of this size and weight. If the buyer of the engine would like to meet me somewhere in Virginia, that can most certainly be arranged. Also, if the buyer of the engine would like the intake manifold and throttle body as well, I will sell it to him/her for 1100$ if he/she would like to get the whole package. As far as the exhaust goes, this exhaust has been welded together. The only joint in this exhaust system that can be taken apart is where the main runners meet with the Y pipe of the header. That being said, I will cut the exhaust in half if it needs to be shipped, you will have to get it welded back together when you install it on your car. Also, there is a hard mount welded on top of the muffler out of sight with a polyurethane bushing to stabilize the system. One more note about the exhaust system is that the two middle runners of the header (about six inches from the cylinder head) were damaged slightly in my accident, I had the header taken to CTV automotive exhaust (where I had the exhaust fabricated/installed) where they heated it up, and formed it back to its original form. This exhaust system is a good deal, seeing as DC Sports has stopped production of this header. I paid just under 900$ for just the parts on this exhaust, and I am selling it to the buyer for 400$ with under 6000 miles on it, not a bad deal. Buyer will pay for shipping, since I already paid for it once on all these parts. If you are interested, PM me, or express your interest here. If you would like to get in touch to me on the phone, that can be arranged. Also, if enough interested is generated, I can take pictures of any parts that such an interest would warrant. Also, if anyone would like to purchase any other parts from my car, such as my ECU, door handles or whatever, let me know, and we can work something out. If anybody has any questions about anything, PM me, or ask them here, I will answer everything in a timely manner. Thanks for reading.

    ALSO, I have the invoices for all the items I purchased, they will be included during shipping for the buyer's records.

    I am not 100 percent sure on the bore, I could call Gude and ask them if you would like. Im going to wait for a little bit however, just to make sure nobody wants to get everything (block, head, cam, throttle body, intake manifold) for 1100$ if no one is interested in everything however, then I will get in touch with you about the throttle body.
