B16 swap wireing harness
I plan on swaping a b16 into my 98 civic and I know the general rule of thumb is to use the stock harness and just add wires/ modify it to work on the new motor. However I want to ability to be able to swap it back to stock when needed so I was wondering if my best course of action would be to remove the stock harness along with the stock motor and when I install the new motor install it will the jdm b16 harness will this work what problems may I run into ?
Thanks
Brian

Yeah actually I'm sure it won't work now that I thought about it. However I don't want to mess with the stock harness so when I decide to convert it back to stock I don't have to remove the changes i made in the first place. Would it be better just to get a yarn delsol harness that will work with a b16 so I can have one harness for the stock motor and one for the swap ?

The closest thing would be find a 96-98 EX engine harness and then wire in the secondary 02, that is unless you plan on going OBD1. However we have no idea what year and OBD your B16 will be?

^ Exactly. Using the OBD1 engine will complicate a few things wiring wise.

Re: B16 swap wireing harness
On mine, I tried to extend wires to the other side of the car, but it turned out to be a waste of time and the car refused to start. I ended up using a USDM/CDM B series harness and made minor modifications, which was way easier, even though I was mad at myself for having to run the wires with the engine in the car when the said engine was outside the car a few days before.
