you need new motor mounts for that swap. no, the new engine won't bolt up to your transmission. if he only wants 150 bucks for all of it, why not use the transmission from it? i copied this from the faq.

2) Gen 1 specific



86-87 US model years were vac advance
88-89 US model years were electronic advance
an SE model was offered in 87 and 88 in Black or White and had body colored side mouldings, sideskirts and a rear rubberized wing. The SE also had power windows and improved front sway bar and larger rear torsion bar in rear "swaybar". http://www.g1teg.org

Available as a 3 door hatchback or a 5 door hatch back in RS or LS trims. All LS trims had a sunroof, Sunroof in an 86-87 was a flip up/ removable piece of glass and 88-89 were a sliding motorized glass piece.

Suspension is comprised of a front torsion bar setup which can be lowered by adjusting a nut on the torque tubes. Rear suspsnion is a Panhard torsion beam setup.

Hasport offers mounts that allow you to swap in any B-series engine (bastard prelude b20 not included). http://www.hasport.com

Aftermarket torsion bars are available to stiffen up the front suspension (popular sizes are 24mm and 27mm)

Tein makes a custom suspenion setup for these cars available only through Heel Toe Automotive ( http://www.heeltoeauto.com ) This kit is known as the Medieval-Pro kit. It can be ordered with whatever rear spring rate you choose and can be custom valved as well. 16 points of dampening adjustment. Comparable to the Super Street kit for other Hondas.

Upgraded front brake kits are available from http://www.fastbrakes.com (11 inch rotors with later model Integra or Civic calipers.

The ECU used in these cars were both PG7 but only the 88-89 ECU can be socketed with an aftermarket chip for tuning. The 86-87 ECU is not tunable at all. http://g1teg.org/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=20338

Hey guys. I’m new to this. I have some questions cuz I’m also building a 88 integra . Could I use 90-93 integra rear discs? Will the tein suspension bolt right up? I’m planning to be series swap and I know I need the mounts, a obd0 to obd1 rywire engine harness, DA front hubs, but what linkage do I use?do I need anything else? I been trying to do research but there’s not a lot of info.
