i need to know if an engine out of a 1987 CRX Si (engine code D15A3) will fit in a 89 civic hatch dx since they are both d15 blocks just diff gens. also the civic is a dual point i was wonder if i could jsut swap wire harn and ecu instead of hacking the org harness?

I am not sure if the engine will swap over or not( I have kind of been wondering the same thing) but the wiring harness will not connect straight over so if you wanted the MPFI you are goin to have to rig up your harness for it

The mounts are different.. You'd have a hard time making it fit.
