96 civic hatch, auto b18b1 swap, is it possible?
hey guys i tried searching for two days now, most of the information is for auto to manual swaps and im looking to go the other way...
i want to throw an automatic LS b18b1 motor into my 96 hatch.
dont be a hater, i have a manual dc i daily, i have a manual eg i build.
i want a auto ek to daily with the power of a b-series for obvious reasons.
so is it possible to find mounts for the auto trans? what kinda shift linkage do i use? does an auto integra ecu work?? axles?
and anything else anyone can think of please lmk....

The short answer is no. The longer answer is if you don't mind cutting and notching the passenger's side frame rail, fabbing up your own mounts and doing some very intensive time consuming wiring then yes.

This thread shows most of the reasons this is such a bad idea:
