It uses a subframe kit and all you need to do is weld the mounts on where you want them... The stock integra mounts are still in use
As for the harness, I started with a complete chassis/motor harness and completly dewired the chassis section so all i had was an engine/fusebox harness, I also installed the honda fuse boxes under the pass side kick area, all the factory outputs are now for mini lights, radio, guages, etc...
I have pics of the harness being put together ill post up...

The question is, if you're gonna do it, why go with an LS? Wouldn't a b16, GSR, or b18c5 be even better?

LMAO!!!


He wants it to be around 1500 pounds... I doubt there will be much traction until 70 haha, Yea we will be putting a vtech head and a chipped p28 soon since we cant fit a turbo with out chopping up his one piece frontend

It took me a day to get the wiring figured out and a day installing and modifing it to fit..

Any ways heres a couple more pics as i was working....


The spagetti he brought me




I &lt;3 Wiring





Getting there...

How are you going to tackle the EFI conversion at the gas tank/electric fuel pump end?

This project is VERY similiar to my OBDI conversion on my '79 Civic. Initially i'll just have an inline pump, but eventually I want to retrofit the stock in-tank pump to my '79 by probably retrofitting an 88-91 Civic gas tank into the rear end.

Great work and that pile of wiring gave me a headache..

Just wondering since this engine is so much heavier,,what kind of suspension is on there?
