Hey all,

First off, I'm a newbie here. I'm from northwest Washington and am a very avid car nut. I am restoring a Chevy pickup which is my true passion, but with gas prices, I need to get a car that gets better gas mileage...

Anyway, I have a chance to get a 89-90 Honda CRX SI for free. The catch is that the timing belt broke, and messed up the engine. I'm guessing that the valvetrain went crazy and valves started hitting pistons etc...

Anyway, If I get this car, i'll be looking to replace the motor with another identical one, since i don't really need power in a daily driver, and would liek to have an easy as possible swap... that is, unless a bigger/better engine is just as easy to put in.


How hard is it to do an engine swap in one of these? And where would you guys get a good used engine? Ebay? Junkyards?

Thanks!
