Wassup guys. I have a 1998 Honda Civic hatchback right and I found someone who has a deal on this engine ( posted below) i currently have the d series engine in my car but I want to swap it Im not sure if this is the b series or not I was told it was a engine from an accord and that it would be unlikely to fit in my civic. The seller has no idea about Honda’s and I won’t be able to tell the actual engine until I see it tmm but from the looks of it it looks like a b18 but maybe I’m wrong. Just trying to get clarification. Does this engine look like it would fit in my civic?? I’m pretty sure it would even if I had to modify the engine mount etc but take a look.

If it's from an Accord it could be an H. Check the engine code.

My guess right now is an H23A1 by looking at it, and they're total pains in the *** to get to fit properly. The axles don't line up properly in the civics. At least they don't with my EG, it may be different with the EK's. If you want to use this engine, I highly recommend you do an H2B swap. That way you can use Integra axles and be fine.

If it is an H23 like I'm guessing, then I wouldn't recommend it. B-swaps are infinitely easier, better aftermarket, lighter engines, need I continue?
