So I was dropping my b16 (OBD1 swap) in my 90 crx si and it seemed like it was going to just fall into place but once I got it all the way in it wasn't sitting right...

the back mount lined up and the mount next to the cams was in place but kind of angled... and the tranny was too far forward to line up with the mount...

so I tried pushing it and using some force but nothing... didn't even budge...

I checked around to see if anything was catching or if anything could be holding it up and I didn't see anything then I checked all the mounts and they looked fine but the bracket on the rear that goes from the motor to the mount seemed to be what was stopping everything from falling into place...

I then took that off and the motor fell into place fine on just the tranny mount and the mount by the cams...

anyone else had this problem and any suggestions... I need more support for the motor! don't want my engine falling out... (I'll take off the intake manifold and see if I can just drop it in tomorrow... hopefully)

 

bump if you jump n bump if you want yeah boy!

 

anyone... can anyone help me?

 

what i did was first i got the rear mount on and bolted that up, then i dropped the motor more and then installed the tranny mount, then i put a jack under the tranny and jacked that up till that lined up and got it bolted, then i put on the drivers side mount.

the hardest part was getting the tranny mount hole to line up to put the bolt in. must have took me like an hour trying different combinations.

oh these were hasport mounts

 

yeah I guess I need an obd0 bracket because the obd1 bracket doesnt match up... haha that s what my friend just told me sooo... damn I was just about to give up too... put that damn zc back in and just sell that hoe lol thanx

 

bump anyone else
