Best swap for my 93 automatic civic?

[Mr.Chubbs]

Hey i need to know a couple of things and im sorry if this has been posted alot. First what is the best engine i can swap for my 93 Civic LX 4 door and keep it automatic? Second will i have to get new axles? Third will i have to get a new exhaust because of the new headers? Lastly can someone give me a couple of sites that give me everything i need for that swap?

There's some good info on swaps... honestly swaps are discussed a ton, and info is everywhere, but that'll get you started.

Best engine? I dunno, what are your goals? Do you want to keep a/c? Eventually turbo? HP goals?

axles i'm pretty sure you will need to get from the donor car, as far as exhaust, only the exhaust manifold will be needed from the donor. You might have to do some simple modifications to your connection, but it shouldn't be too hard. So no, you don't need a full new exhaust system.

Go to www.hmotorsonline.com and look for engines... they have a good rep and the best prices anywhere.

if you're going to keep it an auto...just leave it as is or at most get a B18b, but i would just leave it since you're staying automatic

K thanks for the info i'll probably just wait and get a car that's manual. it'll just make it easier.

you dont have to get a different car, just dont put another auto into this chassis....its not hard to swap a manual in if that's what you want

Oh if i get a new car i would wait a long while. I would wait till after college.
