Thx for the replies. Not trying to speed the car up but after reviewing Ebay on different motors for sale I was'nt sure what I should be looking at.

The car has 200k miles on it and told my daughter if it held up till spring I would do the body work, repaint and put a new interior in it. But with that kinda mileage I would'nt without finding a resource for a motor if need.

Im 41 myself and a muscle car kinda guy, but after the purchase of the CIVIC and finding abundance of parts available i've kinda takin a serious interest in these lil cars ....Jack
