Default CTR in a eg coupe?

OK so i put the ctr engine in my 95 civic coupe. Thing is i used the mounts that came on the engine which are the same mounts the 99-00 si used. Now the engine is mounted in there with the mounts but it sits a little high. Other than sitting a little high (which gives me more ground clearance) i don't see any other issues. Would i have problems leaving it like this and driving it hard?

The axles don't seem to be out of alignment as far as i can tell.

Does anyone foresee any problems i may have down the road by not using the right mounts. I have the integra mounts that i need (just picked up today) the drivers side mount doesn't fit the mounting point on the engine. I tried to get the current rear mount out but i gave up and just mounted it back the way it was.

Is there something i'm missing here? Am i safe to just leave it the way it is? Anyone else ever done a b-series swap using those mounts in an eg?

i think when he said "EG" it was more 92-95 style civic, coupe which is ej1\2 depending on trim i beleive regardless,
Theres been tons of people to do swaps, so some pictures if possible may help for that peace of mind if your unsure of things. good luck

wow that looks cramed in your engine bay why not take out the power steering if your not even running the belt? i think it should be fine as long as your hood can close.

i do plan on running p/s i just need either a new p/s pump or a new line. The d series p/s pump doesn't match up with the b-series brackets and the b-series p/s pump that came with motor doesn't match up with my lines.

For now i'm just letting it bolt to that mount to keep it secure and keep the lines plugged.

Use the proper mounts and it WILL fit properly.

That's all there is to it.

my friend put a ctr in his coupe and it sat a little high. the engine hit his hood. the ctr uses a b18 block so its a little taller.

it uses a b18c block w/ a b16 crank but uses custom rods (i think) which brings the displacement to 1.6L

when i got my B18C installed into my '93 coupe (&lt;--avoid debate!), it looked a lot higher than the stock z6; but i never had any problems closing the hood.

i've got integra mounts and managed to save the p/s and cruise control.
