A lift would be nice if you are gonna put the tranny on the motor before you drop it in. A cherry picker is enough if you are gonna put the tranny on later.

you will need to wire the harness for vtec and knock sensor that will be easy if you know what you are doing it will just take a while but if you don't know what you are doing then you could skrew it all up but dropping in the motor is going to be pretty easy


GOOD LUCK !!!!! HAVE FUN!!!!

My little brother (who is 19) did a b16 swap into his '95 Civic DX with the help from a couple guys that have done them before. I wouldn't say it's easy, but if you're mechanically inclined and have the right help it's do-able.

its easy but it takes time. I'm saying this because i just did my first swap last weekend. As far as wires go take it to someone and have them show you where it goes cuz that sh*t is hard to explain over the net or phone or whatever.
