Prelude Engine In Civic

[Ticko]

What would you say about dropping a prelude engine in my '99 EX. and how much do you think it would cost. My friend said that we can get the engine ( like 30K - 40K miles ) really cheap and we can just drop it in ourselves. It would be really cool to do, and i would love to do that, but i'm kind of sceptical. What do you guys say.

do most of your own work, ~5 grand. have a shop do stuff (and they will have to do some of it.. its not a bolt in job.

You'll need more than just the engine though. Tranny,ECU, motor mounts, axles and some custom fabrication as handlebarsfsr touched on.

werd, not an easy job. I know for 5th gens you have to drill out spot welds in order to remove the right-hand engine mount and you also have to cut a hole in the center tunnel for some other s**t.... I'm guessing it'd be sorta the same thing for 6th gens.

just consider a B series, and many JDM engines are bad from what I was told...
