Default 97 prelude engine into a 97 civic

If you dont want to do the swap, take it in and have it done. The power will blow your mind. If the swap is given to you. Take the engine, tranny, all wires and sensors, shifting cables, shifter assembly and what ever is connected to the motor itself. If that is all free, than you'll need

some mounts (300-600 depends on what brand)
axles(160-400 could go teg or customs)
midshaft, bunch of other little stuff
Do the swap yourself, your lookin at spending around approx. 1,500+/-

that or just sell the s motor.
