dang dude were having problems with the H2B swap, weve never done it before

we already have it sitting in the EG engine bay but the engine seems to sit croocked
on the driver side it leans more twords the fire wall than the pasenger side

its the engine mount were using but not to sure which one we need
were using a DA mount
and i think we need a DC mount
and the crank pully hits on the engine bay to so we might either need to smash the bay to make room for the pully or cut it up with a grinder so we could have some room

thats what happens when experimenting with a new swap i gues

Are you sure you have the right T bracket? When I dropped my gsr swap into my EK I had the wrong T bracket and it sat in there weird like you're describing.

only thing wrong is the driver side mount itself its off a DA and i need the one off the DC to drop the engine into the EG chasis

After that i crashed the front end, got everything fixed, and the real modifying began, got it repainted, now this is how it sits:

Future plans are just to go b20vtec which should be happening very soon, thanks to 91sedan_kid

my car's up and running again. just in time for weksos meet(if i even decide to go). finished putting the tranny back on and connecting everything back up. test drove it this morning, runs good.

also picked up a single cam motor thanks to RNR and going to start a mini me swap on an ej, once the swap is done, i'll probly use the civic and do the RHD on my teg since the owner of the ej has a suspended license anyways..
