Might be worthwhile to pull the motor out of the parts car and refresh that one, then swap it in come summer. Then sell your running motor to recoup some of your costs
Good idea, I'll keep this in mind when I end up pulling it out. Originally I was planning on removing the heads and selling them if they were good. Then keeping the short block and potentially rebuilding it for myself.
You will get more for a running long block than just selling the heads. Get a video of it running, and a compression test if you can before pulling your motor and depending on the results 1k-2k for it.
I know how you feel😢 I bought a civic last year and 3 months later a drunk driver totaled it while it was parked on the side of the road…. 😢😢I’m about to buy a Subaru legacy 😊which is what led me to you channel! Most importantly your ok which is paramount 👌
Sorry to hear that about your civic, always a bummer losing a car you love... but like you said as long and myself and you are okay! Cars are replaceable, people are not. If you do end up getting a Legacy, try to get a GT, its a sleeper WRX, even better would be a Spec B. Super rare and every GT owner wishes they had one! But any trim you get you'll love. They are great cars!
Can I get that center console and cross member shifter assembly I'm asking because I have an 05 lGT auto and I'm doing a Spec B 6spd swap in it so starting with a manual console and crossmember will help.
