I'll have to look into that. That would be cool if it worked.

Yes the lude clutch fits. I had the same problem with my '89 civic. Went to the parts store and tried clutches, and the lude clutch fit. Not 100% sure about the PP, but I wouldn't doubt it.

Re:SOHC rat motor. The hatch is being reborn
That downpipe blows away that manifold quality wise. 
The manifold shoots the DP directly at the motor. That leaves me a few inches to try to get a bend in it, but if I try to use the right bend, I can't get the lower bolt on the flange, so this is how it's going. Not to mention there is just enough room for a 2.5" pipe between the block and the frame. I have a sawzall and a 110 gasless welder so I'm not going to have the best precision while making "Whitey bends".
Does anybody know the exact years of Preludes I would use? I'm assuming 88-89ish?

Re:SOHC rat motor. The hatch is being reborn
So I can use an Accord disk too? WTF?
This is still pretty ------- gay. I have to buy seperate clutch disks and pressure plates. Why can't things ever work out? I just went looking for a cherry picker and nobody in town has one.
------- gay.

Haha, yeah my floorjack is awesome. $20 Checker Auto special. I doubt it's even safe to jack a motor up with. :P
I might go try it. It would be so much easier with a ------- cherry picker.
