Default project car?

how much harder would it be to do an engine swap into an accord hatch compared to a civic hatch?

I'm thinking d15b SOHC vtec or D16?? with possibility to H22a

some people have swapped in a b-series motor in a 3rd gen accord...but i dont see the use. the car is a piece of shit. to me, it just seems like people use the 3rd gen to be "old school" like the EF guys but "different" at the same time. :down:

we're not blessed like those in socal. There are only 2 cars for sale on ebay for <$1000, that and a 90 prelude. None in the paper this week. I might just drive around and look for cars I don't think will make it out of the parking lot.


edit: I think all the hispanics buy the cheap hondas around here and drive them until they literally blow up.

it's not a budget thing, it's I don't want to spend more than a $1000 on a car that doesn't run/run well.
