Default B18b swap with stock Ek hatch tranny?

If a B18b LS engine is dropped into an EK Civic hatch, will the stock tranny on the hatch be able to work, or would I also need to install the LS tranny?

You will need the Bseries tranny and axles. D series tranny never bolts on to a B series motor.

Other than the engine itself you will need the following:

motor mounts
axles
tranny
shift linkage

Yeah any B series tranny will fit. Then you just figure out which gearing you need.

Like he said. But spend the extra money and get an LSD equipped tranny.
