Help!!!!!Please....What parts and mounts are needed for Civic 2001-2005 single-cam motor going into
Well..... it's stupid of me to ask this question.....but gas prices just keep going up. So that's why I decided to swap my B18 Turbo for a single came. I would rather have the newer 01-05 single-cam motor, because they're cheaper and easier to find. Are there any mounts out there that I could use to complete this task and what about the axles are they compatible. Help Please..........thanks-lots.......

It's going to be "cheaper and easier" to sell your car and buy an '01-05 Civic than it is to try to hack a D17A into your chassis. There are many, many changes on a D17A vs. a D16Y; they share almost no interchangeable parts. The transmissions aren't even the same, nor are the axles. It's not going to work with a reasonable amount of effort.
If you insist on swapping, find the correct drivetrain that belongs in your car (a D16Y7 or D16Y8).

agreed. Get a D16y8 and gogo.
Or Find a y5 for ultimate gas mileage savings.
