Use the search function here and look under recent and archived content. you'll find everything you need to know there.

you need b-series into ef mounts. hasport, avid, innovative, and ebay all make them. da mounts will not work. you need the rear t bracket, engine post mount, axles, and halfshaft from a manual tranny DA.

nope, da mounts will not work. you can go with whatever brand mounts you want, they all accomplish the same thing. some look better, and are built with better materials, and therefore cost more.

Selling it and buying a b18a1 swap would be the easiest/cheapest thing to do.
You might find this helpful though.

use your obd0 harness and extend some wires. Make down which is what so you can plug it in to the right spot when you extend it.

Uhm, you don't need any EF mount if you're swapping a B series.

Since you have the GSR hydro tranny, You need to pick up the EF to B series mount kit with Hydro Tranny. It's more expensive than the kit with cable tranny. It comes with the special actuator kit to use the hydro transmission.

Yup, also your going to have to cut below the rear T bracket. (The lip below the T bracket)

Also pound out where the alternator will sit, and cut off or drill whichever you prefer the front motor mount bracket. (The only mount on the front cross member.

He probably has the stiffer mounts of the innovative kit. Well he's talking about the good kind of shake and rattle. Meaning the engine IS NOT going to rock or move when you drive it.
