i apologize if this bothers anyone but i was just hoping for a direct answer to my question .

i have a 1997 prelude that recently had the transmission go . so everything is perfect still and i would not like to replace the transmission .

So i was thinking about getting a EK hatch shell and doing a swap .

and my question is :

1) What parts from the prelude has to be switched over ?

2) is it a direct bolt on ?

3) if not , what needs to be done ?

4) can i use the stock EK transmission work with the prelude motor ?


thanks

your gonna need aftermarket mounts, axles, and a bunch of other stuff. and you need a transmission from an h series motor.

 

actually you could get the adapter plate to run h hseries engine and a d series trans

 

can i cut out the mounts from the prelude and weld it into the civic engine bay ? or is it much easier and less time consuming to buy the mounts ? and other parts you could tell me ?

or maybe is it better to sell the car ?

 

i will let someone else answer everything else. but just read the stickys at the top. i know you can use the stock civic drivers side mount. i just replaced mine.

 

it is better to buy the mounts.

in ur case, if ur looking to save money, i would just replace the H tranny.

if not, u still have to get another B series tranny, and the H2b kit.. or whatever... then mounts, then axles, then wire it, then the ek shell....
and to put all this in the civic.....
