I had an engine conversion on my 92 Civic SI sedan 7 years ago. I bought a frontcut from Sydney with about 8x,xxxx kms on the clock. It costed $2.5k + $300 for shipping to my door. If I were you, I would be looking at a front cut as well. Costed me another 1.5k for a mechanic to drop it in. This included compression test, new clutch, service, timing belt etc etc. You will get a whole lot more than just buying the enginer, loom, gearbox which is basically all you need for a conversion. It is a straight drop in. Even the engine mounts are the same I think. Well it is for the SI since it is a B18 block. As I was saying, with front cut you can get the following.
- The nice white cluster which has the 8000 red line.
- You may also be able to get the brakes if it hasnt seized. They are bigger than the Si / VTi brakes. I believe it is the same size as the EK4s.
- You also get the climate control which doesn't come in any of the EG / EK series in Aus
- Spare headlights (I think they use HB4A or something weird that is hard to get)
- Alot of spare parts if you can be bothered stripping it down.
I ended up selling the car for $6500.
