HASport makes the mount kit for any B series into an 84-87. They also sell the shift linkage and Ecu. http://hasport.com/ I had B20vtec in my old '87 HB and it was fast but it wasnt built so if your gonna put a built LS in I can only imagine the power that little *** cars gonna have

One of the problems I encountered is getting the wrong intermediate shaft, or I was given the wrong one. Another one is getting the pins out of the ECU...I had to order the pin-tool from Hasport and have them ship it overnight. A regular paper clip usually works, but 2 of the pins wouldnt come out. Besides that, once the motor was in, everything else just dropped in to place...I was pretty close to a local Automotive shop too, so getting bolts, hoses etc. was quick. It'll be nice to clean your engine bay too and prep it before dropping the new motor. Check out http://www.hasport.com
