B18b engine into 6th gen Civic worth it?????
I have an 97 civic b16 engine (not si one) I blew my engine up couple weeks ago, The engine block is F*ck up. I'm planning to get a new engine. My buddy knew a guy that had an integra 96 RS nothing is wrong in engine, but the car is mess up, the guys willing to sell me what ever I want in the engine bay for 1,000 bucks. I guess that very cheap right??
- Now I had everything from that 96 RS. (Manifold, B18b non-vetec, tranny, ECU etc) I just starting to put things together. Got the B18 in, but I think I need 2 mount (1 rear, 1 front) according to what I see, am I correct? or does the 2 mount left and right are ok? Manifold is hook up, but I think I need mount too, am I correct? About the tranny, what tranny Im better off running? old b16 or new tranny from B18b???? having check the ECU yet, but I think it was OBD2?? Sorry too many thing on my head and engine right now..You guys think that this swap is worth a $1,000? and time? or I should go buy a B16 sir2 from SI?
Any Tips on this swap apperciated guyss!!!!

good deal for $1000
you have the right mounts
get an LS/VTEC kit and slap the B16 head on the B18B bottom end
use the B16 tranny

REuse the B16 tranny? I thought that B18 tranny are better? maybe i'm wrong.
What about the linked between tranny and the block? do they fit right through? because the B18 tranny is still stuck the the block. No problem with the ECU right??

Re: (Fired Honda)
all motor the b16' tranny will be much much better it has shorter gears, if you had a b16 in your car before the mounts are correct rom that swap not from the teg they are slipghtly diffrent than a 97 civic's

About the mount. you said it correct rom flip b18b? is those top and bottom are ok? I dont need the right and left mount? becuase I think in an B18b engine it has 4 mount; correct??
