Default kinda urgent: will a B18B engine fit in the backseat of my '99 Civic EX?

So yeah dudes.
Looks like i might get my hands on an integra LS motor this weekend. Transmission not included, but axles, ecu. etc are. It's only 100 mi. from my house!

I was wondering if this would fit in the backseat of my civic. Is it possible to haul this motor home? don't know anyone with a truck..

thanks

remove your passenger seat, will be your best bet to just set it on the floor there.

yeah it will fit it's not really that much of a hassle if you have another person to help you load and unload. its like loading a tv on.y allot heavier.
dont sweat it.

that my friend is by far the best idea I've heard all day.
OP you should do this. it's only 4 bolts to remove you seat.
good luck on that buy.

Yeah, take the seat out. That is the easiest way. Try and get some of those huge moving blankets so you can lay them down and pad the sides of the doors and seats. That motor will crush the plastic armrest if it tips over. I would just take the seat out and rest it against the rear seat

Yeah, it does seem like it'd be a pain in the *** to get it into the backseat..
Passenger seat it is.

Thanks dudes. Hope this deal goes well. 'bout time that i get this damn D16 out of my engine bay .

Wait. One more B swap question ( maybe i should make a new thread )...
can the intake system of my D16Y8 be used on a '99 B18B?

If i can get the block out of my backseat and into my engine bay i'd be okay without an aftermarket intake for now.. lol.
