Why???? That Civic is practically an antique. I'd hang on to it for at least another five years and it will definitely be worth at least a couple of hundred dollars more than it is now (and that means it'll be worth at least a couple of hundred dollars).

That's tough, HASport has the best answers for Honda Swaps, and I dont' think they go back that far. For a swap like yours, you'd have to look at good, reputable import shops that have a good reputation with things like this. Anythings possible with deep enough pockets. However: Imo, if the car isn't something you can't live without, or it was your first car, or something like that, don't bother. Personal experience, I've had multiple "I'll NEVER, EVER!!!! sell this car!!" and they've all gone down the road, and I lost piles of money on each. Save your money until you get something you really, really want, and you know you can live with. I had 7 CRXs, 3 with B16s, and currently am driving a 70 Chevelle, the car I always wanted. WIth the money I stuck in the CRXs, even though they were fun, I could have saved it, driven something plain-jane for a couple years, and probably bought a Super Sport Chevelle, a car that will go UP in value, other than DOWN like any newer cars. Sorry to ramble, but a project like this is best left for someone who has money falling out of thier pockets, and it doesn't seem like the case here. Hope i helped!

there is no swap parts for the 2nd gen civic you will have to build it i have a forum with my 80 civic 2nd gen with the B16 swap all custom parts. hope this will help..http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread/1921915

Theres also a 1800cc motor out of accords around that year that fits too. My dad did it like 12 years ago so I was too young to know how but it F-ing screamed stock. I know it wasn't that hard. If you don't go fuel injected get some side draft carburetors. Good luck
