need help with possible motor swap
I recently got a 77' honda civic, but it has a blown motor. I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on what kind of motor i could replace the old one with and how difficult it would be.:confused:

If that is the civic you speak of, I say you drop a K-series into it :oh: BTW, your 77 civic has 50 hp stock and is a 1.2L 4-cylinder. Dayum man, what are you running at the track, like 23's? More info here: http://www.edmunds.com/reviews/gener...2/article.html (I was bored :oh: ) |
omg there were civics back then, thats nuts!
|
Yes they did but no Civics didnt get love until the EF's came around 88-91. They're definately a classic but didn't think anyone still owned them. Good luck finding a motor for that year..

If I recall correctly, the late '70s Accord engine can be made to work in the '77 Civic... something like a 1.8l. |
hey, thanks for the suggestions...but does anyone know if its possible to drop in say...a d16 or whatnot?

This is actually very interesting indeed because I was still waiting for you to day "oops, typo, I meant 87." But wow, you really have a 77' civic. You need to keep us informed on how this progresses because I think this is a historical event :p Post some pics if you can too, I wanna see this bad boy.

It's about the same amount of work as dropping a D16 into a Toyota Camry. |
If you search on Ebay, you can find a 77 Civic CVCC or something, and they took the stock engine out and replaced it with one that has ~1800cc, upgraded from 1500cc. Contact them and see how they did it.
If you search for "Civic CVCC" (which is what I think you have,) you will find tons of information on them. |
i have a `79... I got as far as mounts and lost interest in a gsr swap... too many mods to the engine bay... its like you gotta replace the whole front clip or somthing...
unless you have alot of time on yur hands and money to burn... drop the same motor in there... (if you can find one) |
