First off I understand and have done swaps into ek's but never ef's. Looking at a light weight drag car that i can drive in the street. My choice of set up is a crx with a built/boosted gsr. Just want to cover the basics, have read some pages and not sure if i have ef's 100% or not.
Convert obd0-obd1 (crx si harness)
p28
Obd1 gsr/externals/dizzy
b series cable tranny (da or jdmb16)
a) I didn't see it being worth it because i don't care about lsd but would hydro be better or stay cable? I still don't know the difference except for what cars have them stock. I would prefer a gsr/b16 and not really waste money on coverting if there are no serious gains.
b series axles (da or hasport)
b series mounts efb1's for cable (hasport)
a) do i need da mounting brackets? Saw 1 might be needed for the side mount
b series shift linkage (da or hasport)
clutch,flywheel,etc....Just double checkin that this is about all i will need to do the swap and everything on the list is useable. I still have not bought the crx but am really debating on it. I know I will need tuning,fuel system, turbo blah blah but I was just trying to get these basics down because they are unfamiliar to me and people i ask all bought their ef's with b swaps....
Trying to stay away from hacking the harness and would just like conversion harnesses as well.

the engine harness WILL need to be modified for vtec and a 4 wire O2 or wideband, knock sensor, vtec pressure switch.
the difference between the transmissions you mention are the input shaft diameter, the
hydro is a bit stronger due to a thicker input shaft basicly, and some other things depending
on the trans you pick.
You pretty much covered everything else.
