i'm trying to help a friend who has a civic coupe. he wants to get and engine swap. i'm just wondering if it'll drop in right away or does he need to buy new mounts?

 

i just did this swap. except mine is a 98 coupe. the passenger mount is good. the drivers side he's gonna need to get a new one for the swap. and the one on the back he's gonna need a mount from a 99 00 si.

 

so the driver side wont' fit?

 

no. driver side wont fit.
just get all new mounts while your at it.
once you get that, its pretty much plug and play

 

I'm with unseen racer on this one. Just pick up all new mounts.

 

go with hasport if its got a lotta power. The stock fluid ones can blow up.

 

You only need torque mounts for a B series, the cast iron bracket that bolts to the block on the driver side from a 99-00 Civic Si, and the rear T bracket from a 99-00 Si. Once you have that, it's smooth sailing. Everything else is re used and bolts right up mount wise.

 

i have a 96 dx coupe with a b16 swap did it a year ago. i used all of my mounts. the rear mount you can use. it is the rear engine bracket that the mount slips into is what you need off of a 99-00 si my swap came with it still on the engine. i even used the jdm harness just turned it upside down. plug and play extend as needed. you will also need both upper and lower radiator hoses. also a more free flowing radiator bec. the single core just wont do it. i got a dual core off ebay for like 75$. you will also need both axles for the b-series. if you are buying you swap used i would also recommend changing the clutch, timing belt, and water pump. nothing like getting a swap done only to find out that your clutch is bad. thats about all i can remember from my swap hope i could help.btw make sure you take that tps sensor off before you put in that swap bec they are know to hit the firewall and bust all to hell i found out the hard way

 

thats just what i did i bought all new mounts and i bought the si tmount for the back. im sure other people have done it differently.

 

thanks for all the infos. i'm trying to help one of my buddy who has an ek. he wants to put a b series on it. and trying to see what he's looking at spending. also, any changes on the wiring and stuff??
