    Default 1987 civic si

    About to start a project on a 1987 honda civic si. It currently has a blown HG and I don't know whether or not it was over heated (if the head or block is warped) until I get in there. I don't want to get flamed, I don't even know if this is the right venue for this question but has anyone built one of these before?? I am just curious as to how to go about it/ where to find parts, or to swap the motor with something different. If anyone has any input I would greatly appreciate it.
    It will be totally different then my s2k build as the civic is a 1.5 liter carbureted motor.

    Thanks in advance.

    redpepperracing.com will be your best bet. They're dedicated solely to 84-87 Civics.

    If it's carbureted it's not an Si. An Si of that year is fuel injected and has a sunroof.

    I say for the labor involved go with a tried and true swap.
