i recently totaled my '97 GS-R, and i'm looking into getting a '92-96 civic si hatch. i'm wondering what needs to be done in order to properly swap in my motor?
also, if i end up taking it to a shop, how much do you think it will cost me? i also heard i have to go to some state office to register the engine after the swap, or something along those lines. is that true?

depends on what state your in as far as registry goes. Grab yourself a nice hasport or place racing mount kit for that hatch if ya like..drop her on in...do you plan on keeping the a/c ?

i know this is really stupid, but i don't even know what a mount kit is. where can i get one? and yes, i am planning on keeping the a/c.

If you have a 97 GSR, you have everything needed to swap, except the ECU, you need to either get a OBD II->OBD I conversion harness, or a chipped P28 to run the 1.8. You DO NOT NEED A MOUNT KIT, they are nice to use, as they are stiffer, and new, but NOT nescessary for a B series into a Civic.
