Question
Hi Mike,
I was just wondering what car models a 1997 Honda Accord LX 2.2L 130HP I4 would fit in.

Thank you.
Joe

Answer
    Honda has an interesting philosophy when it comes to engine mount design.  You can put almost any four-cylinder Honda engine in any other four-cylinder Honda.  It takes a little work, but is nowhere near as difficult as performing the same trick with other Japanese or even American four-cylinder cars.  So, want to stick that big mother into a mid-eighties Civic?  Go ahead, nobody's going to stop you (add a turbo for spice and you'll have to buy new tires every couple of months).
