ok well im swapping out my D15Z1 and putting in a D17 can i use my original motor mounts or do i have to get some D16 motor mounts and if so which ones ?

 

way more research needed here.

 

A D17 from a 7th gen civic, will not fit into an older chassis without extensive modification and custom mounts. Its a junk engine with almost no aftermarket support. Find a cheapo D16 or another D15 and drop it in.
