I have a 94 Del Sol D15B7 with 154000 miles. The head gasket is blown. I can buy a D15B2 frpm a 90 CRX with 80000 miles. Can I swap these out without too much trouble?

Thanks
Dennis

If you are asking about the engine swap, I offer my recommendation and you take it or leave it. Don't do it UNLESS, you are a good electrician and mechanic. The engine itself will probably work and be fine but the adapting of the electrical system will be a nightmare and hair puller. Easier to do the work on the original engine and even rebuild from ground up than to take on that task.
