Use your stock harness, get the Si rear T bracket, and driver side block mount. For the ECU, grab an OBD2A P75 LS ECU.

To give you some clarity, a stock d16y8 probably runs a ~16.7 second 1/4 mile, the car might be capable of a 16.0 second 1/4 mile with the new engine and transmission.

VERY rough numbers based on Compiled Car and driver/road and track data.

Emphasis on the car running the time and not the driver.

Good driver + in a vacuum where all variables are held constant.

well with the 1/4 time wats urs on this motor

No one tries to get serious with stock b-series motors. (B18c5 being the exception) They aren't much faster than a d-series.

They do however respond better to cams, turbos, etc than d-series engines do.

Stock Honda engines are slow. Plain and simple. Unless you get a b18c5 with the J24 transmission or an h2b/k20 build you aren't going to have a "quick" stock Honda swap.

I'm not telling you 1/4 mile times because I have that particular motor setup either, that's based on some stats from albeedigital.com

Quit worrying about 1/4 mile times and get moving on your swap. A b18b is a phenomenal, sturdy, cheap boost motor. Get 200-300whp on a mild turbo setup and get back to us once you get some seat time.

Throw the d in da trash and go with the b series. I know I love mine.

I'm not sure I would consider a stock b18b or a b16a a groundbreaking improvement over a d16y8.

That's more what the OP is hoping for it seems. Like a stock b-series swap is going to allow him to own up some late 90's mustang GTs
