Default b18 swap help needed!!

doing a b18a swap on a 93' honda civic, but i cant figure out what the rear motor mount bolts to. been searching on here and other forums to see if i can find a picture of where the metal motor mount bracket bolts to on the engine block. heres a picture of what im looking at..


im pretty sure that its missing some sort of bracket that goes between the engine block and motor mount bracket.

any help will be appreciated!

It bolts directly to the transmission, the thing is I think you need a b series t bracket, looks like you have a d series bracket there.

Thanks Ryan. I just figured that out last night. Thanks for the reply though!

Actually, the top of the "T" bracket bolts to the block and not the transmission... the two vertical bolt holes on the "T" bracket meet the transmission. Looking at the photo that you have provided, if you move up 4-5 inches above the bolt hole at the bottom of the block just above the axle hole in the transmission (you have a bolt in the hole in the pic with a 17mm head), you will find the bolt hole for the front hole in the "T" bracket. Make sure you have the proper "T" bracket, which is found on the '94-01 Integra. The "T" bracket you have pictured is from a '90-93 Integra and it will NOT fit properly. Just for clarification, it was suggested above that you have a SOHC "T" bracket in the photo... this is incorrect. SOHC "T" brackets have a sealed end where the "T" bracket meets the block... and the bolt used to attach it to the block is long and passes through the block tab and then through the "T" brackets sealed reinforced tube meeting a welded nut on the driver's side of the bracket. "B" series "T" brackets have an opening in the "T" bracket because the attachment point on the block actually gets sandwiched between the ears of the bracket... with the attaching bolt passing through one side/ear of the bracket, through the hole of the block, and then through the other side/ear of the bracket and meeting the welded nut on the driver's side.
