Hello all, I have a 97 SH with 108,000 miles on it, it eats oils like crazy and the gas mileage is terrible (about 250-260 to the tank). The only mods i have are DC ceramic header and Tanabe Racing Medallion exhaust piping with a stock muffler.

My friend just had his h22a4 powered 00 civic mangled by a truck (hit and run). Hes parting it out and i was wondering if its worth it to purchase the motor and tranny from him. I would either build it for a JSRC or just do a straight replacement in my lude and roll back the odometer to a suitable mileage then sell it. His motor only has 7,000 miles on it and was not damaged by the wreck. The motor came out of a 01 base prelude. He would sell me the motor for pretty cheap ($1500-2000).

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

you would not really want to do a base swap into a Sh. the trannies wont bolt up. so you would need the base tranny. Im sure you would also need a base ECU. But i dont know for sure.

plus you can't roll back the odometer for any reason. The milage is still on the car, the odometer isn't there for engine purposes only.

otherwise i say its a good deal. that way you have an extra motor around just in case too or for a nice project build

I would buy the motor and build it with your spare time and $$

Only 108,000 miles? H22A4's do go through oil. Are you sure your poor gas mileage isn't a result of some other issue? Have you tested your compression?
