Default 1st gen CRV. Which motor mounts work?

Im looking to upgrade the motor mounts to my CRV. I have a GSR I want to swap into it but im not sure which mounts will work with the swap.

I heard EK mounts would work but some say they dont.

Anyone have any input on thematter?

Take a look at the driver side mount part #, and compare it with the em1/ex/lx/dx and see if its any different. You'll know your answer.

Not really, you need to do that yourself...

OP - I used a '96 - '00 Civic B-Series Engine Mount Swap Kit when I did my GSR swap without issues. All you need is the correct post mount for the engine to sit level and to change out the bracket on the driver's side. That should be included anyways. This is no different than if you wanted to upgrade mounts on a OEM '99 - '00 EM1.

Take a look for yourself. There is a difference in the part #'s.

But as you said, the correct post mount can fix that.

See attached.

I know they were different; what I said was a bad way to word "that has nothing to do with this" haha... oh well. Good reference picture anyways.

I'm still confused though. The post mounts are the same design, I know the driver side motor mount is different. Oh well I'll take your word for it until I can revisit this later on when the purchase of the 1st gen happens. I can't put too much thought into it.
