i bought a 97 Acccord Ex $500. The previous owner was installing a head gasket but gave up, he also gave away the dizzy and a few other parts, that I have since replaced. Some of the things he gave away was the actual head and intake manifold. I went to a local junkyard and the only head I found was from a wrecked 94 Ex.

1. My first question is will this head from the OBD1 Accord work on my OBD2 block????

2. Will the intake manifold work with the existing harness???

3. Are there any modifications that need to be done??

4. Lastly I have a 97 Accord Lx with the f22b2 and what not.. long story short, title has a lien and I can't use it. However, I did install the engine so I'm gonna return the car and keep the engine. Will it work? whats the safest route????

Thanks in advance for all the help..

 

I hate getting old....

1. Yes
2. Pretty sure with no issues.
3. For just the head and intake, none I can think of
4. This would req more work but can be done. You'll need the ECU for the engine.

 

Thank you so much for your tremendous help, I really appreciate it.

While pulling the head I saw a small metal disk about 1/2 centimeter thick and about 1.5 centimeters wide with one offset hole. It was covered in oil and I cant seem to find where it goes or what it could be. I'll try to snap a picture of it tomorrow. Do you by any chance know what it might be by the description I gave?

Again thank you for all your help.. and sorry about my noobness.
