Default LS swap mount question

Im putting a ls in my ek, I dont have any mounts. I know there not the best choice but im on a budget and will upgrade them later, will these be a straight drop in? http://www.ebay.com/itm/96-00-CIVIC-...ht_3739wt_1010

yes they will work. But you'll need a t bracket also from a 99-00 si. but you may be able to find something on here for you budget.

you don't have any mounts at all in the car? the rubber parts are the same between d and b series.

Yea, but why use mounts that are 12-20 years old? these cars arent fresh from the factory. replace it the right way 1st and you wont have to do it later on.

He says he's on a budget and will replace them later. Why replace them twice? Just run the stock mounts until you have the money to get proper mounts.

he wont need to replace those mounts they will work fine.. only thing about them is the paint is cheap and chips over time of torque and twist.

I wouldn't run anything but OEM or Hasport mounts. I have seen cheap eBay mounts snapped in half due to stress over time. I have had numerous issues with Innovatives. I love my Hasports however.

You can reuse all rubber mounts assuming they are still good for the D16 that was in the EK. Also you need the rear trans T mount bracket and a 99-00 Si drivers side mount bracket, it is by the timing belt behind all the covers. I did this swap in my 98 HX and made it fully OBD2 at first. OM me if you have any question as there is a bit more to it that just a drop in, while it is a very easy swap. Some wiring changes ect.

i know on the ef's they made cheap mounts that did not have gussets and the trans mount hangs low and tends to snap. if u know someone that can weld u can make them work. but these ek mounts d and b series mounts wont snap.
