lx to del sol engine swap

[dbcupid]

I have a 1.5L 1994 civic lx engine w/auto trans & need to know if it can swap into a 1993 civic del sol that has a 1.5L w/man trans. Will the lx engine fit in the del sol w/the man tranny? Thanks for all the past help

Edit: Sorry for the confusion factor. I have a 94 civic lx w/1.5L & auto tranny(body beyound repair) & want to swap engine into a 93 delsol 1.5L w/man tranny(engine smoking) Just want to swap engine frm lx to del sol, needed to know if 1.5L lx & 1.5L del sol engines were the same for straight swap & leave the man tranny in the del sol. Thanks, DBCupid

yes, it will. but i'm curious to know why you would want to do a manual to auto conversion?

maybe the 5 speed is broken... or maybe he has to go through city traffic

he's putting the Civic motor into the Sol which is already manual

yeah you guys have it backwards, hes taking the auto engine and putting it in the manual

seems to me like all the people who replied knew this, i dont see anyone referring to an auto to manual. all manual to auto...

why would you want to put a lx motor in a del sol?, i may be wrong so correct me if i am but arent lx's 1 of the slowest civics? and del sols faster?

the dol sol might have a blown motort and thats all he has. And to answer your question it will all bolt right up

His del sol has the same motor as the lx to begin with, just with a manual. The only fast del sol was the DOHC Vtec model which came with a b16. All the other del sols were just as slow as any d-series civic.

I have a 94 lx w/1.5 auto that has 30,000 miles on engine(car was in a roll over), am looking at del sol 1.5 w/man that has a smoking engine. Just wanted to leave the del sol manual tranny in. Thanks for quick response, DBCupid
