Let me first start off by telling you what i have:

2000 DX civic coupe
d15b7 (dont ask)
obdII->obdI jumper harness to a p05 ecu.

Apparently the previous owner had some "bad *** 500whp b-series" motor in it, took it out and threw the single slammer into it to get rid of the car... And now its in my hands. Well the motor taps, smokes, idles rough but i got a hell of a deal on the car and had plans to swap.

I just got my hands on a b18a1 longblock for 100 bones. Now i have some questions.

-Is it even worth swapping such an old motor into a 2000 coupe?(supposedly has low mileage, saw the tach on the car it came out of- 120,xxx)
-What should I do electrical wise? Keep the jumper harness and stay with an obd1 ecu?
And....Since the motor is obd0 should i get an obd2 b18 intake mani?
-CV axles- The guy gave me 2 DA ls cv axles and half shaft, will these work for my application?
-Am i just being a dumb *** and need to search harder?(have searched quite a bit)

If this turns out to be more of a pain in the *** then expected, i can easily flip the motor and get my money back + some

Help would be greatly appreciated

yes

 

for a first timer, just buy a complete swap and dont fart around.

 

not a first timer and cant exactly pull the money out of my *** to do the whole swap

all i need is tranny, shift linkage and figure out what im doing with the harness
