1979 Honda Accord

[Anderman]

Hey everyone I just bought a 1979 Honda Accord and can find very little info about it. My friend has had one for a few years and its been a great car to drive and i saw one for a $1000 so i picked it up.

Does anyone have any info about these cars??? I had a look on google and kept coming up with the same small bits of info..

Im wondering if its possible to put maybe a civic or other engine in it, how much it would cost and if it would be worth it..

But yea... any info about this car would be awesome :) thanks

Hey mate, look at www.1stgencivic.com (http://www.1stgencivic.com) they have more than just 1st gen civics there, they have links to accord sites and a whole accord forum. There would be no reason why you couldnt put a civic engine in, there are people who have done it before. From what I have seen, it has been more popular to put other accord engines in rather than the civic engines. (unless your talking out of a 1990+ civic ) There are een mounts being made and sold in the US by people doing conversions on these all the time.

Oh my congradulations on buying This :thumbsup:

Was this the one on ebay? (she looks beautiful)

How is the rust on it?

If your in need of more info join up here, Introduce yourself and ask questions :thumbsup:

They are good guys but mostly in the states and canada (so expect answers much later then posting)

Other then that i think the 3g civic engine would be a close direct drop...

If that is then you can probably drop a 1st generation integra engine in it :cool:

Anyway hope this helps...Will keep an eye out for you (parts and posts/threads) :angel:

If you need to source some parts just send me a pm and i should be able to help you find what you may need :angel:
