okay so i will be buying a ef hatch shell that is setupp for k-series. what will i need to go back to d -series. i have a d-seriess donor car with everything in it.

 

probably depends on the mount kit. i would just park the two cars side by side and compare the differences.

 

there is a shift plate that has been changed and mounts will have to be cut and welded back into the rite place

 

Not really worth it IMO.
Just search for how to convert to the chassis to a K and then do the reverse of it all.

 

You'd be better suited to get a car set up for a D already. Sure you could convert it back. Is there something else special about this shell that makes this the best choice to build?
Personally id just get another k. One of the best motors honda has ever made.
