as the title says
i am doing an engine swap, replacing my b18b (automatic) with a b18c5
my question is the lower driver side mount (by the ac compressor) is different.
is there anyway i can use the b18b bracket or do i have to get a new one.
thanks in advance.

so if im understanding, you're saying that the mount itself (with the rubber insert) is different? If so, how is it different? they should be the same on the driver's side.

 

u are correct, i was wrong in my initial assesment....the ac brackets is what's different.... so now i guess the question is are the b18c's and b16's interchangable?

b16? i thought you had an LS. lol they should all be the same. use the ITR one since its aluminum.

 

the ls ac bracket does not fit onto the b18c block.

 

well just leave the B18C A/C braket on the B18C then.

 

I think he's asking because the C1 didn't dome with the A/C bracket. I think the B16 ones fits but I'm not sure.

 

well, you could always do some creative drilling.

Why ghetto rig crap like that if you can just go get the right bracket? There's already enough ghetto Hondas out there built the 'cheap and fast' way, no need to make another one.

lol please. It's a freaking AC bracket. I have had and still have my share of super clean hondas. This wont make it ghetto. You wont even be able to see it.

But the right way to do it would be to get the right bracket. No doubt. I'm just saying. The drill dealy is a definite solution.
