Default Want to Swap a b16 in my EK

Okay So i want to swap a b16 in my stock 1998 EK hatch. My friend has a b16head and Bottom block, but no head-studs to put them together, I just want to gather all the parts I need to do this swap and Im wondering how much it would cost?
Things I know i need
Headgasket
headstuds

Would i need
axles?
Motor Mounts/ tranny mounts?
any wiring harness?

any other parts I would need? and cost?

thanks for reading. any help feedback, tips would be great.

you'll need axles, motor mounts, transmission mounts, shift linkage, ECU, have to run VTEC if your body model didnt come with it. most of which can be salvaged from a wrecked Si, IF YOU CAN FIND ONE.

unless you can find a wrecked Si as mentioned above, you'll probably spend less on a local swap.

Local swap is just a term he made up which means nothing.



Look for a DIY on the swap its been done.

local swap means find someone on craigslist whos selling a swap, i didnt realize how complicated that sounded. and dont forget the price of a b-series tranny. sure you could get an ls tranny cheap but that doesnt keep the b16 in its power band worth a ****. and an si or gsr tranny wont be too cheap, unless you get lucky. ive seen ppl sellin si swaps as low as a grand, which wouldnt be too hard to spend on a good tranny, wire harness, ecu, head bolts, gaskets, axles, etc.
