Re: d16y8 (89civichatchback)
You have to use your driver side mount and bracket mount. Your tranny will bolt right up. You can use your dx intake and exhaust manifold. There might be an extra cooling line behind the motor that you may have to plug. i did this conversion when I first started on civics. Your gonna have to modify your distributor so that it fall on timing. You should make your crx MPFI. It would be a waste of a motor to run it on DPI. Try to find the SI wirng to do a complete conversion.

Yea, the l3 tranny will bolt up. If your gonna use the soh vtec motor you just have to use your driver side bracket and mount. If you wanna make your car even faster you can take the block from the A6 and use z6 or Y8 head. I did it to my 91 Si, Mini me conversion. It works beter than great.

Stick with the complete y8...it's easier then having to swap out the block and heads. You'll have to take the whole engine out to do either one anyway and you'll get pretty much the same numbers.
