engine swap???
i am putting a 1994 b18b1 in my 1995 honda civic, it has a d16--- v-tec in now.will any of the motor mounts work off of the civic, or do i need to build mounts.am in the garage right now getting ready to lower new engine in, just to see how things line up.

i have the whole car in my driveway.both driverside top mounts look the same. when i lower it down,that mount goes right in. but the engine seems to be a bit high? tranny mount seems to not whant to fit, but i can force it in but the engine looks slanted (what gthe hell)???? do i need to cut the mount that is welded on the acura and weld it on to the honda to make it fit right???

If the Civic was a auto, the tranny mount on the rail is differant then the manual. That may be one thing. If not, then make sure those mounts werent accidently switched around.

Re: engine swap??? (baddog)
Theres your problem. The tranny is bigger on an auto, therefor the mount is shorter, so thats why your motor is slanted. Were you planning on keeping the auto tranny or getting a manual? Try to include every detail about what youy want to do, and then I can tell you what you need to get.

i am going to go with the automatic. i took a ball ping hammer and tapped the frame rail in just a little so the tranny would clear. i cut the upper mount off of the acura and welded it on to the honda. driverside mount is the same so no prob. there..in the morning i am going to try to line up the rear mount to see if any mods are needed. so far..........
