Default b20b into a dc question

ok i know this topic has been covered before but i cnt seem to find any topic for it.. ok im a noob but i got a b20b and my question is. the part where you mount the driver side engine mount seems to be shorter and the bolt is fatter should i swap over the one from b18?
and second question my b20b dipstik is longer than b18 one.. it might not clear the hood.. should i cut it? or how to i change the one from the b18? or can someone show me link of a full swap guide. thanks H-tech

us the b18 mount and bracket for the mount

the tube for the dipstick can be pulled right out the block just replace the tube and dipstick with a b18

the tube might be snug, use some visegrips to wiggle it out

^^ Like posted above... Use the 3 bolt style mount and bracket from your B18
