Default Trying to get a B16A in my 83 Civic 1.5 4door S ANY HELP???????

Im trying to see if anyone has attempted or know of anyone who has done this kinda swap. Its my first car and I really wanna make a show winner. Got big plans here. Ive owned previos B16 cars and love em. Ive seen this done before so I know its capable. Am I gonna have to make custom mounts, or is there a place that pre makes them. Also if you can tell me where I could find out my wheel lug pattern and offset for my 83 Civic 1.5 S? ANY help is GREATLY appreciated! Thank you!!!!!

I'm nearly positive that the S didn't come in a 4dr model.

Got any pics? I'd like to see.

Nobody makes anything custom for these cars. Hope you have a welder!

2nd, the b series is a very tight squeeze in a 2g.

You're going to need:
Custom mounts

Custom axle

Custom fuel pump setup

Custom wiring for carb to EFI conversion...you basically need the ENTIRE engine harness
from an 88+ Civic or something

Custom shift linkage

You may want to do a d16 swap....the engine fits much easier, and you can use your stock axles.

I've got a '79 and an '83 civic...if you have AIM you can IM me at imapemmican, I can probably help you out with most all of your questions.
