Sounds like a good deal. If all the maintenance was kept up why not ? Sounds like a cheap ass swap tp me with a shell to sell.

idk about the 5th gen, but i know that in the 4th gen that 89 integra motor wont fit on our cars because the mounts, i think its the same with the 5th gen too. but if it is, the motor wont bolt into your 5th gen. for 500 you can just get a sohc vtec if u want more power, that has more power than the 89 integra motor anyways

doesnt it only have like 112hp, what like 6 more hp than stock, plus you gotta make custom mounts. why not just go sohc vtec ? or a jdm zc cause those are bolt in, plus jdm zc has 130hp, alot more than the usdm version

jdm zc = 130hp $525 plus shipping www.hmotorsonline.com
usdm zc = 112hp your price of $500, plus price of custom mount
both are obd0 engines, jdm drops right in, usdm requires custom mounts. if it were me, i would pay the extra $300 or so for the 130hp zc because it drops right in and u get 18 more hp. but thats just me
