Those should bolt right on..I got mine from hasport and the only issue i had with my b18c install was the rear mouting bracket, they sent me the wrong one, which wasn't hasport's fault... it was hmotorsonline =/

But those looks good.. and if they don't bolt up.. send them back and get hasports

Screw all 3. Get Yonaka mounts from streetimports or me. Me and a friend have them in our b16a swapped EFs and they work perfectly. I have an extra brand new set that I can sell for $150 US all shipping included. Let me know if you are interested. I am very happy with them. They are pretty firm so no rocking engine. EDIT: Ok now I looked at the mounts I see they are Yonakas. Thats a great price man! Good choice.

Yonaka mounts are good, Ill vouch for them. Thats what I got, and I have had no problems with them KOW. But yeah, make sure you get that rear L braket, its a pain to find one (junkyard) and you have to have it. Thats the same kit I have, it bolts right in. You may have to drop the front and rear crossmembers to make it easier though. Oh one more thing, even though it says "Proper US Hood Clearance" it didnt work out that way, at least not for me. Just put some washers on the bolts holding the hood to the bracket until you can get another hood.

Really? You had to shim your hood? I have had no issues whatsoever. Maybe you will not have to shim it like nexgen91, but even if you do its only a few washers and you cant beat $80!

This is true, its a great deal. Shimming the hood is no problem. I got a EDM ZC hood to go on myn, just have not been motivated to put it on yet.

Did you not just finish reading this thread Decay? YONAKA MOUNTS. They are about $80-100 and work perfectly, I have them in my EF. And buy YONAKA AXLES too. They are the ones for 90-93 Integra. Go look at http://motors.search.ebay.com/...ports and buy them. And you need the half shaft that matches the axles ex:90-93 Integra half shaft. All that stuff is like $350 and then you smack the **** out of the wall where the alternator sits and slide the engine in. And get someone to do the wiring.

Your going to need to buy (or build) new shift linkage. when I did my b18 swap I purchased the linkage and the motor mounts as a package from Hasport.

Seriously just look on ebay. Linkage for the b16a swap is there also for like $120. LOOK. You cant use the linkage that come with the b16a as is, it has to be modified.

There are many different kinds of mount kits. Some try and sit the motor lower so you dont have to "shim" anything while others try and place the engine in the factory location. You just have to get the engine in the car and see how it sits. I have found that if the engine hits the hood you can place a few washers between the mount and the bracket. Do this only to the drivers side!! This will lower the engine enough to clear the hood but not enough to stress the axles. Good luck!!
