I have a 97 Civic DX + 98 Prelude w/ H22... What do I do????

[TomCo_Paints]

Hi. This is my first posting, so please help me find the info I need... Thank You for having me and I promise to keep my postings educational... I have a very clean 97 Civic DX Coupe & a running 98 Prelude (w/ a clean H22 ) that needs too much body-work. What do I do??? How much of the 1998 Prelude can I use to upgrade my Civic??? I know that the H22 is not the preferred engine for Civics,,,but it might make a cheap and fun street car... My brothers and myself kept up with the Civic for the sake of my mother, who has then moved on to a Ford w/ power steering.... Now, the civic is mine again and I need some cost effective advice on how to proceed...

One of the cars i have is a h22 swapped 96 civic hatchback. Its a blast to drive! The jdm lsd trans i had with the swap would pop out and also had grinds, plus sychro problems, so its running a accord trans at the moment. Longer geared, but still enjoy the car.

Sounds like your civic is a lot of fun! Do you know where i can look for some engine swap advice?? I would like to know what i am getting into before I make a mistake. So far, the only mods i have made are cosmetic things like new B92P paint with reconditioned headlights and 50/50 red/white tail-lights. Custom Black/Grey plaid headliner(which is sweet..) and basic trim refinishing. Plus some HX wheels with leftover graphite-like (Audi LY7G) paint. Everything looks great but it still has the d16 engine(which i refuse to upgrade until a stronger engine is in play.) I have the H22 engine and parts, but i want to know what (threads?) have some of the info i am looking for.

There's many things you could do, have you looked at the options of building up the d-series? you could sell the h22. and do a mini setup *basically get a z6 or y8 head* d-series is a great starter motor, if your just first getting into honda's.

also post some pictures, i'm sure everyone would love to see what your working with.

you will need to upload them to an image hosting site, something like imgur.
