Reading this thread I'm now seriously considering doing a full HX engine swap into my 98 LX but have to question whether or not I'll get the kinds of gains the OP did because I will be sticking with either the LX or EX geared transmission.

OP, do you think your super tall gears are making that much of a difference in your MPG?

I do have a complete swap lined up for a really fair price minus trans.

Engine complete with ecu and harness......

Thanks!
