Swapping ls into hatchback
What all am I in for in swapping an ls into my hatch that came standard with d16y7? I figured it wouldn't be to difficult. Can I use the stock harness, axles, and mounting locations? Am I going to have any issues with exhaust? Are there any online step by steps? Thanks

Re: Swapping ls into hatchback (cbmprelude)
Is the motor coming out of a 90-91 or a 92-93?
You can use the axles from that year integra, but they are not the correct set up. It would be best to get the correct ones since you are putting it into a Civic. The stock Civic Axles will not work.
You can use the stock mounts, or get aftermarket strong mounts, but you will need to change out the side mount bracket. You will also need other brackets too, that you can't get from the DA integra nor the Civic. (I'll PM you a list).
The also offer a kit that allows you to use the stock DA brackets. I'll send you that info as well.
