Default B21A1 Swap

Anyone have it? Does anyone make mounts for it? Is there any aftermarket? Is it a decent motor?

Just looking for some info on something which on paper looks like it could be cheap and pretty good.

Nobody has it as a swap, nobody makes mounts for it, barely any aftermarket, and no it is a shitty motor. It ranks up there with the B20A5 in overall shittiness. The B21A1 came in the 90-91 Preludes and really are prone to breaking down, I believe it is because they have some horrendous rod/stroke ratio. Anyways, nobody makes a mount kit for it because it is not built like all of the other B-series motors, therefore, no kit. I hope that answers your questions.

I assumed that was the case, just wanted to double check. I heard the 90-91 Si's were POSs.
