b26a1 into a 91 civic hb NEED HELP!!!!!!!

[purespeed187]

hey my friend has a 91 civic hb i dont know what model it is but its only a 4 speed manual so i think its a std. Anyways he wants to know how much it would cost to drop a b16a1 into his car i think it will cost about 1500 for all the parts u need for the swap im guessing 600-900 bucks for a swap im not sure.

edit: fixed the thread subject.

Proffesionaly done? since urs is an std model its gonna cost a bit more since they have to change the hubs. It also depends on the shop. They usually charges 1200-1400 to swap in ur motor.

This is a really common question here. This is my personal breakdown:

engine/trans/mounts 1800 (includes 300 for shipping)
timing belt tensioner 48.53
thermostat assembly 11.13
spark plugs 50.44
timing belt 48.1
H20 pump 82.55
H20 pump O-ring 2.21
ignition wires 45.33
cap kit 21.07
friction disk* 91.8
pressure disk* 157.8
throwout bearing* 39.78
pilot bearing* 13.06
Tokico struts Front* 135.7
Tokico struts Rear* 124.16
misc 150
Total $2821.66
-----------------------------------
You could delete a few things (*) and go non-OEM but it's still going to be over $2200 for parts+changeover. If you are not going to DIY, I'd add another $500-1000 for labor...
