Default B16A6 into EG?

Not sure why I haven't been able to find any info on this. I'm heading down to pick up a "1991 Civic SI with a B16A6" swap for around $800.

The reason behind it is to use the B16 as a motor for a my EG shell, and daily driver..

I'm not sure why I couldn't find any info on this, but I'm sure it's logical. I hope it's an easy swap and cheap swap.

Any info?

I'm sorry. You said that you couldn't find anything so I went and found something. Now if you're looking for someone that has actually done this swap there is no information on that. And that might very well be because that engine was only available in South Africa (as stated) and the Middle East-and we know how big the scene is over there. So your chances of finding a guide for this particular swap is next to zero.

But it's a B-Series so I don't see why it would be any different than any other B swap.

Exactly, that's what I figured, but I didn't want to go spend money on this swap just to find out that for some ridiculous reason, it wouldn't work. I got a hold of some guy over on CarolinaHondas.com and he's done the swap (I think), so hopefully I can get some useful information out of him

The only difference I see, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, is the A6 designation and of course where it was sold. Specs look identical.
