Re: installing new mount on my ek b20b ( some questions)
Actually, it appears that you have a DA engine bracket on the side of the engine... you need a '99-00 Civic Si (EM1) bracket to properly align with the stock style drivers side engine mount and upper "S" bracket.

THE USDM post mount works. The JDM '97-01 CRV post mount is too tall... if you use it, the engine will not sit parallel to the ground. The driver's side will be very low in the bay and oil pan ground clearance will be minimal.

This is not the correct answer either... the engine will be sitting crooked in the engine bay. The driver's side will be sitting closer to the front of the car than it should be.

I think is going to be a temporary fix.. untill i get the correct mount.. this is the best i and align with the stock mount..
here some picture ~~ Stock B20B Mount On EJ6 (So4) Ek3 Stock mount
Here EJ6, So4 with B20B Stock Mounting.
stock B20B with B16head.. (Look fulgy for now, untill everything settle will drop in new exhaust/intake mainfold, and some paint job and detailing.. )
can't say is align perfectly. but it works at least it get rid of the vibrations into the cabin.. now feel smoother.

Are you sure about that? I retained the CR-V post bracket on my B20, used stock Civic everything else, and had zero issues on mine. Engine has been in the car since 2012 (has since been changed to Innovative mounts with the same post mount) and definitely does not have any incorrect angles. All five mounts are in place and in excellent condition.
Here it is as received (after being recovered from the previous owners backyard lol)
And later as the shortblock was going together. Same mount.

I am absolutely sure. What you have pictured IS the EM1 bracket/post mount and NOT the CRV post mount. You have unfortunately assumed that because YOU received it that way, it MUST be stock. NOT in this case. Remember, we in the US are not the only people around the world who mod engines... and it is obvious the previous owner (or someone before him) used the engine in a swap application. If I had a CRV post mount handy, I would photograph it side by side so that you could see the difference. The step up from the top edge of the bracket sticking out from the upper timing cover to the flat machined surface where the studs are located is about 1 1/4" (32)mm TALLER than the EM1 bracket/post mount. Unfortunately, I do not keep them around because they aren't good for anything except for use in the CRV. No swap application utilizes this bracket/post mount. My previous text is incorrect: The USDM CRV post mount fits very similar to that found in the EM1.

OP, you still have to worry... YOU do NOT have a B20 bracket (post mount on your engine)... you have a '90-93 DA Integra bracket as I stated to you previously. If you simply compare the two stud/hole positions (another dead give-away on a DA bracket is the front hole is larger and not threaded because the bolt passes through to a nut), you will notice that yours are moved forward of the triangle shape of the post mount, whereas, the CRV and B16A (EM1) post mount mounting surface is moved rearward.

Re: installing new mount on my ek b20b ( some questions)
I do happen to have both, a DA ('90-93 Integra) and the needed EM1 ('99-00 Civic Si) brackets/post mounts in my possession, and here is a picture of them side by side.
OP, the post mount that YOU have is the one on the right. Notice the higher angle between the centerlines of the two post holes and the orientation of the mounting surface compared to the base (touching the 2x4 in this picture). Your bracket's front hole is forward of the base and the rear hole is just behind the base of the "T" cast into the bracket. The PROPER bracket has a front hole that is within the width of the base and just to the right of the base of the "T" cast into the bracket. The rear hole is dramatically rearward and outside the width of the base.
Since your engine is pushed well forward using the bracket/post mount that you have, how did you get the rear "T" bracket to fit ??? Which one (from what application) did you use ???

Noted n thanks..another quick question . Do u think is possible replace the brackets on the motor side . Without jackout the engine or goes under the car?
Re: installing new mount on my ek b20b ( some questions)
Yes, it is possible to swap out the post mount in the car. All you have to do is remove the crank pulley and lower/upper timing covers to expose all three 14mm bolts holding the bracket/post mount on.

actually that’s why I was so curious. My engine came out of a stock CR-V, due to an exhaust valve failure, and sat in a friend’s backyard until I acquired it. It was never used as a swap and was never even owned by someone with that intention until I got a hold of it. I actually KNOW the entire history of it, which makes it all the more interesting that it has a different mount on it than expected.

Thanks. That was exactly the goal. Looks a little less clean and a little less stock 7 years later but it's still going and it's even more fun now in its current form.

Thanks again. Late model GS-R. Swapped in an LS 5th when I was still in Florida, I can't wait for a good excuse to get back in there and put the stock 5th back in.

So, you actually removed it from a CRV in your friend's back yard ??? Was your friend going to use it in a swap chassis ??? I will see if I can find a CRV bracket and take a pic... it is painfully obvious how different they are.
