At the last HIN in Seattle there was a couple of the old school cvcc's with swaps. I know for sure one had an LS swap and I think that the other had a B16. You know those crazy canucks!!!:hehe:

: DROOL : There's a 79 wagon for sale right up from my house that I went and looked at last night. I was thinking of selling the 4g and buy it, but they want almost 2 grand and it has a few rust holes... I just don't have the money to fix it up like I would want.

One day I will have my 1g civic with a b18c...

i have not weighed (guesstimate) it but according to the book the cvcc weighs 1450 lbs with the heavy iron block 1500, mine has the much lighter alum 1200, and i have stipped alot of the excess weight.

ok i i feel a bit stupid, i went and check the weight of my car through my with my factory repair manual, and double checked with an online archive. the stock weight was 1689lbs so i guess my car is about 1489lbs. i remebered the 1489 to be the stock weight and subtracted my 200+ from that. still its pretty dam light woulndt you say
