    Will engine from '91 mount to '86 lx manual?

    I have a 1991 accord ex with a busted automatic transmission, but the engine is in great shape. Can I drop that in my 1986 accord lx and will it mount to the manual transmission?

    not unless your 86 lx is running an f-series (excluding f20c/f22c) or h-series engine.

    whats up man welcome to the forum! Hey just make sure you read the stickies in the subforums and the Frequently Asked Questions before you post questions. Alot of these questions are asked quite a bit, and the Head against the wall icon kinda sums up our feelings about answering these questions over and over. To answer your question, 3g accord transmissions wont bolt up to 4g accord motors, 4g accord motors take a shit ton of work to put into a 3g accord. If you blew up your motor, or are in need of a new one, head to the junkyard and find one that got rear ended badly

    from my experience... wrecking yard is yer friend when it comes to these cars for parts....

    well atleast for me.. anything engine wise on these cars 86-89 accords should interchange, just gotta watch thee'ol carb or efi cars.... hell even the 86-87 lude engine/tranny stuff works providing is bt/1 or a20x...
