I'm already in a mood , so I won't be a dick and say SEARCH!

What I will say is that engine swaps are not for the timid. Your best bet is to have a pro do it. Or at least get a couple of knowledable buddies to give you a hand.

I don't know what "e-check" is, but I'm assuming emissions...that all depends on whether or not you do a good job tuning it.

In regards to the intake/header question...the search button, like VTEC, is a marvel of modern technology.

intake will still fit, header wont, exhaust will.

engines are pretty easy when you think about it. just unplug pull out. then put in and plug it up.

have fun. and the search feature will probably help you a lot. This question has been asked 5 times in 2 days.

The wiring looks to be the hardest part for me. I've got mine sitting at work. If I could just pay someone to make me a wiring harness I would try to do the timing belt and tensioner stuff myself.
