alright, im doing this swap,,, hopefully.
i have a 99 d16 non VTEC (manual) from my 99 EK. dood wants to buy it off me and have me swap it into his 88 CRX Dx (manual).
1) will his manifold bolt onto the head of my d16?
2) will his stock header bolt onto my d16?
3) Will his trans bolt up?
4) anything else i should be aware of?
--- checked the distributors,, the one from the CRX will bolt in no problem. i think ill have to change the cast iron mount that bolts on by the cam gear. Other than that,,, i would think this should work, unless i get an answer that proves me wrong?
please help! thanks to all that help me out.

2-3 = yes
i'm pretty sure the dx manifold will bolt on but don't know from personal experience. Just transfer the DX fly wheel and clutch to the 99 motor. Your correct about the timing belt motor mount bracket also. And the the thermo sensor (fan switch) on the CRX motor is on the back of the block. While the the thermo sensor is on the 99 motor is on the thermostat housing. So you have to connect the thermo sensor wires from the DX harness to the T stat housing.
