Default thrown rod in B18B

I recently loaned my car to a dumba$$ that didn't understand that a flashing oil light on the dash meant that the car had no oil . So long story short he drove it about 75 miles with the light on and it threw a connecting rod out the front of the block. The car is a 1995 Integra Ls B18B with 5 spd. My question is I have a complete ~65,000 mile running D16 minus the intake(was running when pulled from totaled car), will the d16 drop in with my 5spd and intake? I'm not looking to build a hot-rod, I just need to get a running car again as cheap as I can. I would give more info on the donor car but it was scrapped long before I got the motor. Basically I want to know if my tranny, intake and motor mounts will work together?

The question is, why did you loan it to him when it was low on oil?

You had a massive oil leak then. cause even 75 miles low on oil wouldn't have thrown a rod.

The D16 will drop in but you will need the civic mounts and ecu.

The exhaust might not bolt up either?

Why even go through all that trouble modding it. Just get another B18B block and call it a day. They go for like $150-300.

you could do the block idea but i would hate to put a high mile head on a better bottom end. $599 will normally get you one of those JDM b18b's almost certainly better condition than a higher mile US engine and cheap for a complete drop in.
