I have a 84 CRX HF, but the motor is blown. What engines will bolt in without crazy engine mounts?

any honda motor from 87 or earlier, or the 86-89 integra motor, look in my sig for more details (the first link, "D16A1" leads to a lits of honda engines) your engine is carb so i would be looking for another carb engine if you dont want to do all the work to convert to fuel injection

1st gen ZC would fit in there, but it will hit your hood on the timing belt side, you'd have to cut the skeleton underneath.

you should convert it to a FI 1.6 L motor i see that the zc might fit your car is all wheel drive right o man the fun with a turbo......:)

Yeah I here ya. I have a 91 CRX Si right now that running good. But I came accross this 84 CRX HF and the body is pefect and I mean perfect, fresh paint job, no rips/tears/smudges/stains/nothing wrong with the interior. The engine is bad that was all and I bought it for $100. There was a tad of surface rust on the one wheel well which I am in the process of gettin it off. Besides that it's nice, just needs an engine. I'm looking into making it to the 1.6l FI d16y8 motor. I needa do some research. Is it possible for a D15 vtec motor to bolt in? I'm not sure but my friend had a 86 CRX Si which was a 1.5l. So they should be interchangeable correct?

no B series engine will bolt in, no D series engine will bolt in except the D16A1 (86-89 integra), your friends 1.5 will bolt in. the best bang for your buck is the D16A1 (113 hp) if you are looking to do a performance swap and this post is full of information for that swap

D16A1 it is I guess then lol! I'm going on my hunt for that motor today, snow or no snow here in pa lol. I know of some junkyards that I had been to that have salvaged and rebuilt some acura/honda motors. I'm hoping I'll find a d16a1 there. Thanks for all the help guys and I'll keep ya updated on progess!
