4wd awd civic wagon engine swaps
are their any engine that are Fuel Injected and some where around 90 hp or more that fit with the 4wd transmission?
or a better question would be, can I put the whole 4wd assembly in my '91 4dr lx? from the looks of this chart http://www.enginereplacement.com/htdocs/chart.htm the zc fits in both the 3rd and 4th gen with no problem so i gather that the transmission mount would be all too simular. any and i mean any information would be helpful thanks |

Re: 4wd awd civic wagon engine swaps
If you're talking about the '84-'87 Civic 4WD, then an '86-'87 Integra d16A1 will bolt right up. No need to change the other parts that are usually associated with this swap since the 4WD tranny has the same bolt pattern as the D16A1. You will only need to modify the motor mount (not hard, do a search for D16A1 swap), then wire in the fuel injection and related parts.
There are 4 different types of ZC motors. You need the '86-'87 ZC1 which is becoming increasingly harder to find. The 4th gen ZC will not easily drop into a 3G, the tranny bolt pattern is different as are the motor mounts. The '86-'87 Integra D16A1 is the exact same motor as the DOHC ZC except it has less agressive cams. The D16A1 puts out about 115 HP while the ZC1 puts out about 135. There is no easy way to swap the 4WD from an '84-'87 Civic onto an '88-'91 Civic. The suspension is completely different as is the entire driveline. |

Re: 4wd awd civic wagon engine swaps
in that case, what about putting the 4wd transmission into the ~87 integra
if the tranny bolts line up, would most of the problem be in the drive shaft, would the front axles need to be modified at all? |

Re: 4wd awd civic wagon engine swaps
Again, the suspension is completely different. The front knuckles and axles would need to be swapped over then you would need to weld up a 4 link rear suspension system like the Civic has. Also, there really isn't much gain by doing this, except weight.
