95 LS into a 97 EK? Can it be done?
I have a 95 LS motor and was wondering what I have to do to put it into my 97 Hatch,
1. Will the stock motor mounts work?
2. Do the wiring harness plug right in, like they do on the EG's?
3. Will the CPU plug in?
4. OBD1 and 2? what do I do about that?
Any help is greatly apreciated! Thanks again

NO - You use a 99-00 Si driver's side mount bracket with stock EK Mount, 99-00 Si rear bracket, and stock EK upper tranny mount. Del Sol VTEC A/C bracket, then any B series front lower tranny mount.

NO - You MUST reuse the stock 97 EK harness or any 96-98 Civic harness, which by the way is nearly all plug and play. No other harnesses will work with that chassis. A few plugs will be changed/swapped (distributor, alternator, injectors, etc.) since the motor is OBD1.

NO - The 97 EK is OBD2, the ECU is OBD1 - no plug and play here without an adapter harness.

You either use an OBD2A LS ECU and make necessary changes on the engine for a full OBD2 setup OR get an OBD2A to OBD1 ECU adapter harness and use the OBD1 95 LS ECU.

Thanks for your help, I apreciate it. Sounds like I'd be better off getting another motor. I think thats what I might do, get a 99-00 Si B16 motor
