    prelude?

    I was looking at a parts car 3g and saw a prelude sitting there, with the flip up lights. Im assuming same age. Will the motor & tranny bolt up? Or just the tranny? Or i was thinking of making my hatch a prelude hatch. Will the front clip fit? Maby the bumpers or side skirts? And if it has dual carbs will the intake mani fit?

    Thanks Matt

    maybe he needs a replacement egine for his accord

    if you grab the lude acu andswap it into the 86-87 accord it will bring up the speed limitter though. ludes got 140mph on the dial.

    no the prelude si's ecu can be swapped out with the 86-87 lxi's giving you a higher top speed if the accord doesnt have a speed limiter and you can actually make it that fast.

    If its a 3rd. gen lude... the front clip will bolt up. I'm not sure if the engine will bolt up. You going carb? Cause the lude has a dual side draft set up and there a bitch to work on. Very cramped wrenching space. The good thing about the side drafts is it has a better throttle response then our accords.
    Now if vegetable oil is made out of vegetables and olive oil is made out of olives.... whats baby oil made out of?

    The 3rd gen lude is wider then the 3rd gen accord

    so it would not look right.

    The 1985-86 Base Ludes used ET1 The ET displaced 1.8 L (1829 cc) and was an SOHC 12-valve engine. Dual sidedraft carburetors produced 100 hp (75 kW) @ 5500 rpm and 104 ft·lbf (141 Nm) @ 4000 rpm.

    and the SI's used the BT (A20A3) Same engine as seen in the 1986-87 Accord LX-i

    To the guys giving advice: Thank you. And nope my engines not gone. To you who make fun of me for not knowing what motor was in the prelude without poping the hood, im not an f-ing ricer, this is just my beater car.
