I have a 2000 Honda Civic DX and I am seeking an LS motor and I am not sure as to year engine would be headache free and the easiest to do. I am also looking to out what are the parts that I am going to need to do it.

Please help!

A 1996-2001 Integra LS swap would be easiest. You will need LS axles, 99-00 SI rear motor mount bracket,drivers side motor mount bracket, ecu, exhaust modified, LS shift linkage. any other info you need PM me.

if i recall this is a honda forum, and the purpose of forums is to ask and answer questions, eventhough he didnt use the search its not gonna hurt to post a thread on it, maybe someone will read it and learn something from it, nobody is going to read old threads.

Exactly. This topic has been covered literally thousands of times, and all you had to do was SEARCH and you could have learned from it. You arent creating a useful thread that will be full of information, you are just creating a thread for people to tell you to use the search function, because theres already hundreds of threads on this swap with TONS of useful info in them.

Good luck though.

For pretty much everything you need to know, refer to this link:

what i meant was, people will see the new ones before the old ones, old ones are used only for an archive of information which is awesome, i just dont see why people nag at the new people, im sure they dont know the ins and outs of the site yet. givem time

the best motor for you is the 2000 ls swap. but you will need some parts of a 2000 civic si b16
driver motor mount with the head bracket
rear motor mount bracket.
once you have all these parts the motor should go in with no headaches.
