Default 94' Coupe B18B1 swap motor with issues

Hello good day all!

I recently purchased a 94 coupe with an ls swap. Couple days ago I received my new motor mounts which I was eager to install. But I came across a problem with my block in the process. Apparently who ever did this swap effed it up and used the wrong hardware and the holes on the motor them self where the bolts go into look bored out. Is there a quick and easy way to fix this? or is this gonna cost me an arm and a leg?

Ive also started looking for a new block which i think would be the easiest way to go but still kinda pricy. or could i take my block to a machine shop and get this filled somehow?

I think you could just use some other cheaper motor mounts and drill those out a bit, and use some bigger bolts.

That is if you don't want to spend the money on a new block.

Its been a minute since I logged on here but life's been being a B****. This is going to be my first build/project ever. I'm not gonna lie I am noob when it comes to most of this technical stuff. Although I am mechanically inclined thanks to the Air Force. So from time to time I will be asking some noob/dumb/stupid questions. Please bear with me I am a fast learner and plan on spending a lot of time reading other posts/threads to learn. Thanks!

THanks for the input guys will take your advice into serious consideration. I got into an accident with the car last year while it was still running. I rear ended some moron who cut me off then decided to slam on his brakes at a yellow light. Now I'm just thinking about pulling the motor and doing a rebuild and in the meantime searching for a new shell.

So...First noob question. Anyone know the extensive difficulties of an LS re-build? I'm doing my research and looking at the possible replacements for internals and the bottom end. But I know theres still a lot I need to learn.

Thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!

Ok I really need some help. I'm really trying my best to do this by myself and gonna be a budget build. I tried to start the car after its been sitting for a while. I stepped on the clutch pedal and its just sunk into the floor. I have to pull it back up to get it to go back into place. It won't spring back up like it used to. Anyone? Help please!

^ Clutch master or slave cylinder is bad, find out which one is leaking and replace, then bleed the clutch hydraulics.

They are basically interchangeable for the clutch master cylinder. If you get the entire parts w/tank, get the one for the Civic since they mount the reservoir in a different spot. Everything between the hose and the pedal interchange.
