you need to grab a shift linkage from a del sol vtec they are hard to find so you will prolly have to go to honda and see about getting it and just grab some axles from a del sol vtec ,teg nothing major

nopes. it might fit a lil weird but beyond that it'll be easy. i went from a d15 to b16 and its simple. i needed a new upper i think it was radiator hose.

there is no need to fabricate anything. and u asked about axles: u can use ANY B-series Civic/Del Sol/Integra axles.

also different A/C compressor bracket and Power Steering pump bracket if you are going to reuse them.

You'd need the Del Sol VTEC A/C Bracket or the one from a CRV. Both are the same bracket.

if the tranny is a cable tranny u can either sell that tranny and pick up a b series hydro(which is wat i would do), or u can get a cable to hydro converson kit for your car...

there are a number of companies who make the conversion kit, but id go with a hydro tranny, and they did make a del sol with a b16, u will need to get shift linkage from that model(si model i believe) to fit.
