When it comes to their personal transportation, today s youth have shunned the large, heavy performance cars of their parents generation and instead embrace what has become known as the sport compact -- smaller, lightweight, modern sports cars of predominantly Japanese manufacture. These cars respond well to performance modifications due to their light weight and technology-laden, high-revving engines. And by far, the most sought-after and modified cars are the Hondas and Acuras of the mid- 80s to present.

An extremely popular method of improving vehicle performance is a process known as engine swapping. Engine swapping consists of removing a more powerful engine from a better-equipped or more modern vehicle and installing it into your own. It is one of the most efficient and affordable methods of improving your vehicle s performance.

This book covers in detail all the most popular performance swaps for Honda Civic, Accord, and Prelude as well as the Acura Integra. This book is must-have for the Honda enthusiast.

This is not a repair manual, it does not provide step-by-step instructions for actually performing the engine swap.
