For any b series you will need the 3 bolt drivers mount, some Civics came with this one, and you will need the T bracket and tranny mount from an integra.

Everyones above comments are correct.

In addition any B Series that came in an 92-00 Civic or a 90-01 Integra or 97-01 Honda CR-V can go into our Civics.

So Basically the any B Series besides the B20a and b21A from the 80's preludes. They are known as the basterd b's as they have pretty much nothing in common with the integra/civic/cr-v based B's.

My 99 Spec JDM B20 came with the 2 bolt Mount. Maybe its a CR-V thing, I wouldn't be surprised as CR-Vs are just Big Ek's.

and you also have to watch your electronics.

96+ = OBD2
91- = OBD0

our cars are OBD1 (the best IMO) so you either need a ECU conversion harness to use the OBD0/2 ECU or find the correct OBD1 ECU to run whatever motor you choose.

as long as you have obd1 injectors, dizzy and alternator you can easily swap any b into an eg. you will reuse your existing harness and add the wiring you need in. Extending the o2 wiring and rewiring my dizzy was all i needed to do for my b20 swap.

If you get the wiring harness out of a 94-95 Integra LS(for ls or b20) or 94-95 gsr(for b16 or b18c). then its a direct plug and play harness. You still need obd1 dizzy, alternator and injectors though.

For ease of swaping if your going to use a ls or b20, get an obd1 ls dizzy and ecu, a b16 or b18c swap, get a dizzy and ecu for that engine.
