Buddy... people have been doing B16 swaps since the scene got started. Lack of response should tell you that people want you to do a search. My 10 year old could do 90% of this swap.

b-series motors are all dohc, while the d-series motors are all sohc. Because of this, you can't use a d-series motor on a b-series engine. So, yes, you'll need to swap the mounts, axles, ecu, transmission, and all that fun stuff.

No, its never been done. They put a itr motor in a mini, but never a b16a2 into a 97 civic. Ever.
