Default fighting lsvtec

i have had my lsvtec in my car for a while now but started wondering did ne one have to really fight to get there lsvtec in i have a 94 cx hatchback and i bought solid mounts for the swap but even if i used stock mounts i dont think it would have wanted to line up. my car was wrecked before i got it but i didn't think it was that bad b/c i already put 2 d series motors in it with out a problem. i mean we really had to fight it in there 1" thick bars and all. so just wondering if ne one else has ran into a similiar problem or if my frame is just that screwed

externally, the ls/vtec should be any different than any other b series motor.

I've never had any problems dropping b series motors.
And definetly not the kind of trouble your talking about.

What kind of mounts did you get? Maybe those are your problem.
