I know you can swap B series engines in your gen accords. But I highly doubt the b18 parts are interchangeable. You would have to get in a civic/teggy forum to find that out. Not much of us are familiar with your gen accord.

Yeah I've noticed that my generation is pretty rare and difficult to find parts for, I have found a weber carb kit and wanted a stronger set of pistons and connecting rods.....I can't even find a decent set of oem tailights lol but it will be a sick project

I, too, own a gen 2 accord. (pops does anyhow) has full electrics, power steering. Air con, central locking!
pretty good for an 84 car IMO
On YouTube there's a guy by username 'jgturk' who straight swapped a b20a into his 84. So check it out.

Personally, my accord has overheating issues caused by a suspected radiator clogging. Can't find a new one, so if anyone knows any thing that could help out that'd be great. If not, I may drop in a b20/b18 I'd the swap is as easy as 'jgturk' says it to be
Thanks, and good luck to the op

Cool vid. Definitely has potential to be really fast. I have thought about b18 or even h22 vtec swaps
