okay, i've searched the forum before a couple of months ago, and couldn't find this swap.... i don't really have time to do a search right now, cuz i'm at a friends house. and, if the moderators think this should be somewhere else, i'm sorry.
anyway, now that i've gotten past that stuff, has anyone here ever done a 98 accord lx 4cyl VTEC (f23a1) into a 92 accord ex manual (f22a6, i believe)? or any other 6th gen into 4th gen? and, before anyone says "why the hell would you want to do that?", i have a totalled 98 accord in my driveway with a good engine, and a 92 ex with a bad engine. also, does anyone know if the transmission housings are the same (for instance could i bolt the f23 to the existing transmission so i don't have to convert the car to auto). any help would be appreciated, and i know i'll prolly get some flamage, but oh well.
my father and i don't want to tear into the cars until we get some facts, because we'll sell the 98 to a salvage yard if the conclusion comes to "engine mounts aren't the same" or "wiring problems" or "computer problems" or so on and so forth.
i've tried to add any vital information i can think of, but i have to go for now, and if there's anything else anyone wants to know just ask.
thank you for any helpful replies.
