Well technically, they aren't EB Civics as EB is an engine designation. The cars are actually SBCs
I love the things more than 4Gs I have to say, having owned a RS1200 (76bhp instead of 50-55 depending on whether it's a EB1/2/3) and about 6 other SBCs from '73 to 78. The things have a nice bit of torque to them, especially when you toss in a '80s EN crank and rods plus 5 speed (which is very close to the RS1200 ratios).
I have 2 that I'm looking at currently - one which is stock and a '77 with a Mugen motor, brakes and LSD in it (plus Kamei front spoiler, flares and Mugen rear wing). Unfortunately it's in pieces as it was hit from behind 10 years ago. The Quad Keihins are great for power to 120-140bhp with a R1 or Yoshi cam, not mindblowing or in B16A territory, but the cars only weigh 660-700 kilos and have a tight little chassis and great suspension for their era (even better if you can find '73-'74 shocks which have inserts and can have konis dropped into them).
Ok, I'll shut up, but the damn things are my passion more than any other Honda
