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

Re: LS swap mount question
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.

Re: LS swap mount question
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.

Re: LS swap mount question
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.

Re: LS swap mount question
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.

Re: LS swap mount question
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.
