87 CRX DX and HF differences questions...

[hondaguy72]

The 1.3l motor parts are just about impossible to find. I'm the proud owner of a rust free 84 dx1300 chassis that has been swapped to a 1.5l fuel injected motor. The previous owner was unable to complete a motor rebuild and sold me the chassis super cheap.

There is lots of information over at red pepper racing. Here's a swap thread that you may find interesting.

Here's my build thread for info regarding rust, carb to efi swaps, etc.

If you ever find a CRX 1.3 buy it as I think their EPA numbers were in the high 50's to low 60's.

As I said before, I have a whole intake, carb, controls, aluminum air box and so on from a CRX HF if you decide that you want to go that route, it all came out of a running car that some kid was doing an engine swap on, I put the engine block in my CRX HF before selling it, if you decide that you want it let me know and make me an offer.

OK, I decided to do a head swap sooner rather than later, so I'd like to try and work a deal for the HF stuff. Would you want to email me at kd7oaw@yahoo.com? and we can hammer out the details?

I can confirm Ryland is easy to work with!
