Hi everyone. I am new to this forum but definately not new to Hondas.
Mods - Please forgive me if this is in the wrong section and feel free to move it accordingly.
I am looking for someone in the High Desert area of So Cal (Victorville, Hesperia, Apple Valley, maybe Lancaster and Palmdale) to take on this project.
I have a 1977 Honda Civic CVCC that I love. It currently has a head gasket leak or worse, a cracked head. I do not have the time or the knowledge to fix this myself. It also has the stock Hondamatic 2 Speed transmission.
I also have a 1978 Honda Accord with a new engine in it and a 1975 Civic with a 4 speed manual transmission. I would like the engine from this Accord put into my 1977 Civic and the transmission from the 1975 Civic also put into my 1977 Civic.
My hope is that my 1977 Civic will become my daily driver again. I drive on the freeway and the transmission as is does not handle it well.
I am also open to the possiblity of a D15 type swap (or ???) since they seem to be laying around. The car only weighs 1575 lbs so I do not need a DOHC Vtec or anything like that.
I am willing to pay cash. Please comment or contact me if you have anything to add. Thanks.
