Ok i have a 89 hatch. I had a b18a1 in the car. I threw a rod threw the block and had to get a new motor. The motor that i got is a b18b. I thought that the B18a and the b18b were pretty much the same as far as the blocks are concerned, but when i got the motor the drivers side mount that is attached to the blocks are different. I have the hasport mounts and the mount will fit the b18a, but wont fit the b18b. What should i do?

 

hit yourself with a hammer and then switch the brackets

 

Change the driver's side mount bracket on the B18B1 with the one from your B18A1 and it'll bolt in with no problem.

 

thanks for the help that is what i thought.
