[iiviasterp]

alright... im sure that someone has posted this before but im kinda in a rush.... a buddy of mine who has a 88 LX just picked up a 90 Lude Si for 500 bucks... the body is pretty well gone but the motor has 131000 on it... and it dosnt burn or leak oil... and he was wonderin how hard it would be to but that motor in his car. can anyone help me on this one? i told him hed ovbiously have to make custom mounts but thats about all i could give him.....

Okay I had a 88 lude before with dual carbs, was pretty qiuck.....so is his carbed or injected and most likely the 90 is injected (yes/no)
So I would assume the mounts are the same ! I believe the both have the same block and shit so they should be the same mounts.
so the question is it carbed/injected ?

They aren't the same. The mounts are different, it tilts the wrong way, the A20 tranny doesn't bolt up and the Lude tranny uses a hydraulic clutch.

and cable shift.

you will pay more to put that in than a normal B

its injected.... so it would be a total pain in the ass is what your sayin YK86??

My dad has a 88 Lude Si with a B20 motor which is Fuel Injected, and a friend of mine has a 91 Lude Si with a B21 motor in it which is Fuel Injected also. I was looking at the 90-91 Honda Prelude Si, your friend got a kick ass deal since the blue book value is like $5500 I belive. I was lookin at ebay last night for a 90-91 Prelude. I'd love to have one.

Well if Place Racing never did finish up the last one they did they i would say its rather hard and would be expensive. It also requires cutting the frame and then you will have to convert to hydrolic transmission which was the last problem for place racing so they gave up on the whole project.
