i mean anything could need replaced with that many miles but id check bushings, gaskets, water pump, timing belt, main relay,etc. but do you kno any other history about the car?? how is it running?? did you ever buy the haynes or chilton manual for your other civics? it has all the info you could want to kno and most autozones have them. post up some pics when you get a chance.

an easy thing you could do is convert to MPFI youll get better gas mileage..but id just buy a d-series motor with it (d16a6,d16z6,d16y8) since you want a newer motor. id just save some cash for now just get an oil change and tune up..maybe plugs and wires..simple things you could switch over to a newer block once you buy one..

you could then upgrade your rear hubs to si rear discs or even take things from integras!! you can do anything to these cars!

check out wikipedia search honda d engine and youll learn a ton..search on here and update us with whatevers goin on with your car..
