D16Y7 in a 1990 Civic DX hatch...what is needed?
Whats up guys...I'm new to the older civics, I've always had an EG but it was in an accident. Now I'm driving my truck around but it's killing me in gas at like $50 a fill up every 4 days or so. My solution was to buy a 1990 DX Hatch with a hydrolocked engine and I have a guy I know who is willing to give me a d16y7 with manual tranny for cheap so I'm gonna drop that in there. He said he got around 40mpg with it.
My question is, what exactly do I need for the swap? Here are the things I know so far (correct me if I'm wrong):
-All of the 1990 stock mounts work except I need to change the driver's side upper motor mount and bracket on the Y7 to the 92-95 D series bracket and mount.
Will the stock axles from the hatch work with the Y7?
What else do I need? Any tips for this swap? Keep in mind I'm trying to get the best gas mileage possible and not really looking for any performance stuff.

your sotck axles will work cause your going to be using a d series cable tranny from the U.S , unless you get a zc tranny you will do just fine.
