Default LS swap in a Del Sol

Hey guys, well i was thinking about doing a LS swap in my del sol.. nothing big. But i already know i need the motor, tranny, ecu, axels, motor mounts. But my question is, where can i buy cheap motor mounts, and ecu? Or is there some kind of wire harness that i can connect the LS motor onto my factory wire harness? And how hard you think this swap is? Ok thanks!

IMO i wouldnt go with cheap mounts for the fact theyre cheap and are probally going to be **** and changed in a few months anyways. Id just pay the money for some decent ones and call it a day. As for the harness I think your option is just to get it.

Where can i get this harness? And since my car is OBD1 right now does that mean its going to have to switch to OBD2 or can i keep it OBD1? Thanks

So basically i can use all the factoy wires and mounts? But all i need is a shift linkage? Cant i just buy a short shifter instead of searching for the Del Sol Vtec one? Im really interested in this swap and would like some more info on it! Thanks!

no i short shifter wont fix the shift linkage problem. you need a dohc vtec del sol shift linkage. its a factory honda part and its the only shift linkage that will work.
