Question question....

Can you buy engines seperatly .. like for example if i wanted to put a prelude engine in my civic then would i have to buy a kit of that engine or like is there some already made? cause i know that the hobby stores near me (ontario canada) you can buy engines for older muscle cars but im not sure about imports. If you could help that would be great! thanx

well, from everything i have seen in hobby shops, you cant really buy "import mortors" ie. Honda motors, but you can find all kinds of old chevy, gmc and mopar power plants

PS, where in Ontario are u located?

Almost alll engine kits are resin or metal, and they are over $20, which means, it's not much different from buying a whole plastic kit, and you can still make the donor kit as a curbside model.
