Default My 1st bubble

What up people!! i'm new to this side of HAN.
I'm in the process of buying a beat up 92 Civic dx bubble, as my project car.
First thing on my list before I do anything at all, is to swap that beat up engine which has 182k on it.
Heres my question...
What can i fit into that little itty bitty engine bay without giving me a headache.
I'm ganna be doing this myself so if you guys have any sites or great instructions with PICTURES...lolz
Hook me up!!

Put a Gsr swap in it. It will be really easy to do if you are buying a 92 hatch because it is already wired for Vtec.

The most popular swaps are the Si motor (B16a), the Teg GSR motor (B18c1), the Teg LS motor (B18b) as well as the b20, H22, along with many others...

B-series bolt right in, while the H-series requires some fabrication...

hih

If you feel sentimental toward your Accord's engine, you can fit an F22A into the Civic. :chuckles:

BTW, I prefer to call the 5G hatchback the "Jellybean"
