Del Sol Shift Linkage Help
I have a 94 integra LS shell and I have this del sol non-vtec motor laying around.
The integra shift linkage is too long and so is the del sol shift linkage.
Can anyone tell me what shift linkage will fit this swap?
I was thinking b-series del sol linkage?

Its rare because its almost unheard of to drop a smaller engine than stock in a honda. That being said it shouldn't be hard. If a B-series engine and transmission will drop right in a civic that originally had a D-series then it only stands to reason that a d-series should drop right in an integra that originally had a b-series. It will be pretty gutless though.

Yeah, the LS is a torquey lil bitch (more torque than a B16 and almost as much as a GSR). It's a nice power plant for the LS since they're a bit on the heavy side. Putting a torqueless stock D series motor in there is kinda crazy. It'll be A LOT slower than stock, and ur fuel mileage won't be as good. It's a swap that's done out of necessity, not by choice.

It doesn't matter.
The OP is taking a D series engine/trans that was in a del sol and putting it into an Integra. That same engine/trans (SOHC non-VTEC (D15B7)) was offered in the civic LX/DX. He doesn't need to mess with del sol anything because it wouldn't be any different if he had just pulled that motor out of a DX or LX. Civic D series linkages will plug into that. The del sols were a bit different in length, I do believe, but the del sol has little play into the OP's swap.
