So yesterday I went to the local junk yard for a horn and came across a couple ruff diamonds in the mix. One I found a d16z6 longblock with everything but a valve cover and a cam pulley. Other than that is complete and I also seen a b18b1 out of a 94 LS. The LS is an auto so I was wondering if the motor mounts would still work in a 5speed? But with gas hitting $3.70 a gallon Im a little worried about MPG's. This will be my first build and relatively simple, Im not looking for all out power just something I can take to the road course and have fun with every now and then. Its going in a EJ8 (96 Ex). Any opinions welcome.

 

LS!!! more torque and power for pretty close to the same amount.

 

What about the motor mounts? It is out of an automatic so this is one of my concerns.

 

I have an ls in my del sol

couldnt be happier. One thigs you HAVE to do is get a b16 tranny or a gsr. The ls tranny really slows you down ALOT.

i get around 25-30 mpg

 

I was planning on a GSR w/ LSD if I chose the LS, an 25-30mpg isnt bad in my opinion. Although no one has answered my question of if the motor mounts out of the automatic will work in my 5speed?? Thanks!

 

i to have the same question....

In a 96-00 Platform, I don't believe they will work, and I know for a fact the rear bracket will not as I ran into that problem in my 92 CX *the rear auto 'T-Bracket'* is different for the manual and auto transmissions.

The motor however is the same as the manual one, so when you buy a manual trans, be sure to buy the rear T-bracket off a 99-00 Civic SI, as well as the dust shield for the manual transmission.

Do some searches in the FAQ's for whats needed, the information is already there.

 

Alright thank you sir. I figured they couldnt be used but wanted to make sure before I go pull this beauty out of the teg.
