2001 b18c1 into 96ek coupe mounting issue
I know this topic has been BEATEN TO HELL but I have seen TWO different answers to my question.
I have a 2001 b18c1 that needs to be dropped into a '96 EX couple (was automatic)
I KNOW (and have swapped out) the rear tranny mount needs to be 99-00 Si.
I have also swapped out the passenger side lower tranny mount, and passenger side upper tranny mount.
The driver side lower AC mount is done too.
HOWEVER:
I am confused as to which driver side upper engine mount (near the timing gears) is needed to be used. I have read that you need the 99-00 Si mount. I have also read that the mounts from the 96 D16 will work just fine. Both of these answers were found here by SEARCHING. So don't try to flame me for not searching, please.
I need a straight up answer from someone who has actually done this swap - not just read about it, or knows some dude whose brother did it a couple years ago, or something like that. If you have any pictures please post or email them to me. I'm really at a loss right now, and unfortunately don't have access to the Si mounts at the moment to match them up. The D16 mount kinda looks like it MIGHT wor, but not sure.
Thanks in advance, any help is greatly appreciated.

Re: 2001 b18c1 into 96ek coupe mounting issue (consolidatedbord)
the d series block mount uses 2 bolts as the b16 uses 3 bolts. You will need to use the b16 99-00 si block mount and use your ek stock chassis mount/rubber
