Default Some help with motor swap

heres the case.... i duno if any of you remember me but i had a teg Type R.... it was stolen...blah blah had a lot of goodies in their i dont need to think about.....but ok insurance check =money man....i have a 97 civic hx.....i could sell it and make some more money but i say f that....time to drop a motor in the civic coupe...the damn thing weighs jus under 2300 lbs.. soo its askin for some some high revs...

im seriously considering dropping a b18c5 motor off of hmotorsonline(the complete changeover package). this is highly realistic in my situation. i need some information. is this a easy fit? does anyone know of any so cal shops that can do the work? what other modifacations need to be done to drop the motor in? has anyoen done it or know anyone who has done this motor or even a gsr motor. ALL INFORMATION IS ACCEPTED. thanks guys.

it's a direct bolt on(b18c5). i dropped an h22 in my 96 dx b/w me and 3 other buddies. so im sure that a b series motor will fit with much more ease.

okay i did a b18c in my del sol. it took me and 2 friends like 8 hours to drop the gsr out of my wrecked car, drop the sohc from my new car and put the gsr in the new. so it shouldnt take long for you. not only will it fit but you will still have tons of room to play with. especially with no a/c. as for shops there is rage motorsports 909 608 7123 in montclair and hookups 909 373 0251 also in montclair they're down the street from eachother. both do great jobs for swaps. but you're lookin at 650.00$ or more for installation save yourself the money and do the swap yourself. im sure if you do a search you'll find a tutorial on how to do it. good luck
