No mileage is too much for a civic lol. But it depends on the conditions its been kept in and what u plan on doing with it

 

[steve0328]

You could have more power with the Integra. Any pictures of the two? The chassis are very similar actually and the Integra has more potential.
If you want power, you're better off swapping the tranny in the integra rather than motor swapping the Civic.

I wouldn't buy/swap any car with over 200k miles without planning to start fixing stuff... especially not if it's been modified in any sort of way.
Things to check/replace would be oil leaks, coolant condition, radiator condition, radiator cap, has it had a thermostat put in it, spark plugs, wires, distributor cap/rotor.... basically all your tune-up stuff. Why does it have no a/c? A/C repairs can get expensive to fix.... almost a necessity if you're actually in Texas.

I would agree with others in here, if you're just looking to swap for something with a manual transmission, you're getting the raw end of the deal.... especially if you're going to want speed down the road.

I wouldn't do it.
