Swapping a b18b1 in an EJ8 Coupe..have a couple questions for the experts.
i'm ordering the complete LS Swap from hmotorsonline.com for my ej8 coupe today or tomorrow...no the axles that are going to come with it, they should work no problem right? i shouldn't have any fitment issues or anything right? since it's a complete swap it comes with everything i'm going to need for the swap correct? here is going to be a breakdown of what i am going to get....
USDM 96+ LS Complete changover swap from Hmotorsonline.com
Hasport mount kit added on for $300.00
New OEM Water pump, Timing Belt, and Tensioner
New Spark Plugs, Wires, Distirbutor Cap, and Rotor
New Exedy Clutch and Flywheel
New OEM B-Series A/C Bracket from inlinefour.com
i have a stock exhaust for now but from what i read on here since the swap comes with the exhaust manifold it should fit my car anyway. if i'm wrong or i am missing anything on here please let me know. i'm just going through everything now before i order to make sure i have everything for this swap. i don't want to cut any corners and get all the right parts for this swap. thanks for any help guys.
and i also posted this in the 92-00 civic forums but i figured i this is the proper forum for this question so mods could you please delete my other thread?

You wont have any fitment issues putting that engine into your Civic but you will need 2 different brackets. The block bracket on the timing belt side needs to be changed to a 99-00 SI and you will need to use a 99-00 SI rear engine bracket. You will re-use the top transmission bracket from your transmission.
The axles will work fine.
You may need to get an Integra cat if the flange from the exhaust manifold doesnt match up to the flange on the Civic cat.
Make sure you get OEM Honda cap, rotor, wires and NGK plugs.

Didn't see any reference to a shift linkage.. Be sure you pick up a 94-01 integra/ 99-00 si / or Hasport EGBLINK shift linkage too
