Possible engine swaps for 6thgen EL?

Just wondering if that car can take the B16? I would be fairly certain it can but thought that I would ask...

also...is there a rear brake conversion available for it? I remember the 6thgen comes with drums in the rear.

thanks!

Yep, if it can be shoehorned into a Civic EK, then it will fit an EL. That means any of the B series (and I've seen them all popped in), the H series (HEEEAAVVVY!)...and even the K....oh yes indeedy.

As for rear disc - I think an Integra rear disc setup has gone in before. Also any rear conversion that works on the equivalent year Civics will fit.

gtracing is an unknown quantity at this point
basically anything that fits for a 6thgen civic will fit on the 1.6EL
