Thought this swap would be a bit easier based on the writeups I've read. I appreciate any help we can get at this point.

Target car: '88 Civic DX Automatic
Engine Source: '95 Integra B18B w Y80 hydraulic clutch transmission (not the original motor, but mounts look OEM-ish)

The problem we are having is that the brackets on the engine that go to the mounts don't seem to be in the right place. The rear bracket is practically in the firewall and is a few inches over from where I expect it to be. The drivers side bracket is also different, though we've gotten a replacement for it from ebay that looks right.

I guess what I'm asking is for someone to verify that I need brackets off of an earlier Integra to work with the motor mounts.

 

The rear trans bracket needs to be from a 90-93 integra. your other two make sure they are for a B swaop in an EF.

 

he is right but remember that it has to be a maunal transmission 90-93 integra.

also the bracket thats on the driver side (timing belt side), the one that bolts on to the block. that one needs to be from a 90-93 integra as well.

be sure that u are using b series into ef motor mounts (hasport) because no OEM mounts will make the engine fit into ur ef

 

yes yes and yes,,,,you need the 90-93 rear t bracket and the back mount on the crossmember needs to be moved to the holes right next to the origanal holes on the right and you should just go ahead and buy the aftermarket mounts the only way to do it correctly..and correct me if im wrong but i think youll need a cable transmission to

 

Thanks guys. We've got the drivers side bracket (needed 3 helicoils to fix the goobered threads in the block). We'll get the rear mount when the local yard opens on Monday. The mounts we have are for the EF swap, but we had initially gotten mounts for a cable tranny. Got the right ones now.
