B20 Install problem
I'm installing a B20 into my EG civic.
The problem is with the rear bracket. I have an S80 tranny, and a B20 engine. From what I have researched to swap it into my EG I will be needing a rear engine bracket from a 3rd Gen Integra.
This is where the problem is. I'm having problems bolting up the bracket to the motor. The holes do not line up. Their are three holes on the bracket. Two that will bolt into the tranny, and one on the back of the block. If I put the bolt through and in on the engine block , the two tranny bolts do not line up. If I put the two tranny bolts, the bolt on the back of the block will not line up.
Take a look at the pic.


Notice how if the block bolt is in, the bracket sits to low and about half of the hole is mis-aligned. Placing it in different positions did not do anything. Could this be a bracket off of something else? Any ideas?

Here you can see the bolt placed in the bracket on the block location

Here's the bracket.
Let me know what you guys/girls think.
Thanks!

Okay I think I know what to do. I had the same issue on my em1.It's gotta sound a little crazy but it will work lol.
get the car on 4 towers just to be safe.Once done go under the car with the jack ,and jack the casing of the transmission(slowly,and make sure you do it in the middle between where both casings split you'll see under the car.)Be sure also to put it(jack in the middle of the transmission).Now start jacking you'll see the tranny going up and your holes will be aligned to put the bolts.Good luck and be safe
