I have an old 84 Accord 2DR Hatchback LX. It's a carbed. My current engine is a 1.8 Stock ES2 12 valve CvCC with only 86hp@ 5800rpm. It's got over 150k on it. It's not a total lost cause, because the body is in excellent shape and has all the early 80's sport features prior to the generation 3 EFI models. I love the car and want to see more power without having to turn the car inside out. I want to swap to an enigne that has more aftermarket compatibility without having to reengineer the entire car. I found that my options look like an early A20A or a Prelude B20A which would require some modification and a new transmission. I plan to avoid EFI and use a dual Weber 40 DCOE set up for carbs. My limitations seem to be based on wheel width, mounting, and CV joints or tranny compatibility. I've seen quite a few G3 Accord Hatchbacks raced up but I want my G2 to have a new lease on life. Any suggestions?
