Would swapping in a used '04 HX coupe motor work in the '04 EX sedan? Planning ahead for future reference...in another 100K miles I'll have to change the timing belt again, and maybe by then it'd be more worth it to put in a used HX motor from a same generation Civic with only 40K or so miles on it.
And yes, if it still had the HF motor inside it does seem like a nice project car, but as aforesaid, cash and no mechanical know how limit me.
One can always dream though!
