Those are torque mounts and I would put them back in, unless all of your mounts are badass like some HASPORTs, cuz your motor might pop up and hit your hood, and they arent too hard to install so you should just do it anyways. better response with a stiffer motor

Haha nice quote NScivic-
"if i fill half' my tank with Shell V-Power gas, and the other half with Chevron with Techron will i have V-TEC gas?"

I am pretty sure that D-series torque mounts would NOT work, i think they bolt up to the block but they do not line up with the rubber mount on the frame. But dont take my word, i am not completely positive.

well you said you have some stiff mounts so i guess i wouldnt worry about it to much. People have told me that if you get all three hasport mounts then you do not need the torque mounts anymore. but i cant speak for other brands

The mounting brackets from your D series won't bolt to the B series block nor tranny, but I'd keep those mounts personally.

You'll need to B series front tranny bracket that the right mount slides onto, and depending on whether you've got power steering and/or A/C that will determine which A/C bracket you'll need to bolt to the block to employ the left side mount.

If you have no A/C and no P/S then you can use the stock B series bracket that bolts to the block where an A/c comp would usually bolt to the bracket, but if you have A/C, but no P/S use a 1997 CR-V bracket there, and if you have A/C and P/S use a 1994 Del Sol VTEC (the one with a stock B16A3 engine) there.

KEEP the actual Civic rubber pieces in your pics though, because Integra ones do not sit flush on the under side of your frame rails.

This is gosphel truth from experience.
