A motor out of a Civic will be a waster of time and money.

Sticky regarding some possible engines to swap in:

Any civic/integra motor will be down grading (includes B20C from early preludes). Hit up a junk yard for another f or try and find a wreck bb4 prelude and take the motor out of it. If you do the civic motor Im not really sure if the stock form would move the LARGER accord around.

anything is possible with money but i wouldnt recommend a civic/teggy swap cuz you have a LOT better torque with a built F22.

id just go on craigslist with like $500 find a busted accord or prelude and buy it then rip out and transplant the motor, thats what im gonna do, maybe since i live so close to Canada i should buy a totalled Skyline and RWD swap my accord and put a RB25DE in my car. lol

Anything is possible.

Is it straightforward or a smart thing to do, no.

You'd end up spending more to get a weaker motor into your car than you would finding the appropriate engine.

The Civic and Integra motors would take a total rewire of the car, custom mounts, custom axles, custom fuel lines, and some MAJOR floor surgery to accommodate the rod-operated shifter mechanism, as we have cables in our car.

For what it would cost to put a Civic motor in there (which would move the car just fine... it just wouldn't be a performance upgrade... those newer Civics are nearly as heavy as a CB7 anyway) you could get ANYTHING you want from the list of motors that actually fit. A Prelude Type S or Accord Euro R motor, the most powerful motors you can easily drop into a CB7, would be less expensive than a D17 swap.

www.hmotorsonline.com is a very good source for replacement motors.
