I have searched but have found mixed answers. The recipient of the swap is a 2000 Civic EX, the donor car is a 2000 GSR. I know I need the 2 Civic SI mounts, the Delsol A/C mount, engine hoist, 32mm socket.

What else do I need? parts? special tools?

Is the wiring plug and play? I have heard I need to add a wire for the secondary butterfly.

I know these type of Q's get old, but I would really like to be prepared before I tackle my first swap.
THANKS.

 

A good metric socket set a manual with wiring and a buttload of patience and elbow grease.

Basically your overthinking it but I would get a new timing belt, and other belts, replace clutch, and what not. As for parts or whatever those questions should easily be answered with a search.

 

The swap only has 3000 miles on it, so the parts on it are brand new. I know I'm probably just overthinking, just a little anxious.

 

wow only 3000 miles? How much are you getting the motor for?

Hey, this should help you out a bit https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=131949
Im pretty sure this will work for a 2000 EX...
Have Fun and Good Luck!!!

Take some pics of the process while your at it if you can....

 

paid $3800, I'll take some pics. Also got some new Advan Rg's.

 

That's a good price.
