i really doubt it. im running hcp mounts. your gonna have to use integra spindles and convert your dx to mpfi. hcp mounts are like 350-400. itll save alot of trouble and they work great.

It is possible to do without buying an aftermarket mount kit. You can have the mounts cut and re-welded in the correct position for the new motor. However, you will need to find someone that is very good at welding and has done it before. Because if the relocation is not good you are going to run into lots of problems. My suggestion is to just buy an aftermarket mount kit and save yourself the hassle.
