B18B1 in a 96 CX Hatch?
What would this entail? There is a 96 CX hatch for sale which is very cheap around me. I figure I'd be looking at the following parts:
ECU
Motor
Trans
Shift Linkage
Axles
Motor mounts
Anything else I'm missing? Where would I source the motor mounts, would they be able to mount in easily? (location in the engine bay)
Have not been able to gather much info on the internet for this swap, seems CX isn't often used (maybe I'm wrong).
Any input would be appreciated, if this is a viable option I'd like to buy it before its gone.

That's a very easy swap and uses all OEM Honda parts. Driver's side motor mount you can get from a '97 - '01 CR-V or a '99 - '00 Civic Si, rear T bracket needs to come from a '99 - '00 Si, upper transmission mount just reuse the original civic one.
