Well what are we going to do here does anyone have a 2nd generation civic? I am thinking of getting one...

I have an EN1 engine, does that count?

Actully I would like to know what the difference is between an EB and an EN engine. I've heard that its just the crank and rods, and that they share the same block etc, is this true? Would an EB3 head (with the big valves) fit the EN1 block? What about bolt on stuff (carbs, headers etc), will they all work the same as an EB?

Basically, the EB1-2-3 series refers to early
1170, or 1238 motors.
EB3 last of the series had 72mm bore and big valve
head w/deeper combustion chamber.
Stateside 80-83 1300CVCC blocks cannot interchange
with EB, or Canadian/Aussie EN blocks. They do
share common crank/rods.These parts are worth keeping.
Later model (2nd Gen. 1335) EN blocks/EB3 heads are compatible with early parts if pistons are matched carefully with head choices.
2nd Gen.(other than USA) have slightly diferent
external bosses for mounts etc. can be used in 1st
Gen cars, but early blocks although they could
probably be used in later cars do not have all the
bosses cast in for all the 2nd gen. mounts.
EB3 head will bolt onto an EN1 block but compression ratio would be around 7:1
Did I miss anything anyone?

is there a 16valve head that can fit on a '82 1500 EM1? or anything else that will help give power to my car?
