at home B16A swap?
i really like my civic but the D16Z7 just isnt doing it for me. ive done alot of research on B series swaps and have a helms manual and all the tools i need (i would rent the engine lift), do you guys think someone with moderate automotive knowledge could do this swap or should i drop the 600$ to have a shop do it

How much time do you have. I'm trying to pull of a B20/VTEC. If you haven't done it before it takes a while.

im doing my b16a swap at home too, i dont have much time to work on it, and i am replacing most of the parts and gaskets with new or high performance stuff, so my build has been going on for months now.

 ) if you have ALL the parts you need you should be able to have the motor in within a day or two (Making it run could be a different story but it should start right up) as far as an engine lift I used a lift and dropped the motor out the bottom which is SOOOO much easier than using a hoist.

I didn't know jack about my car. But i got it in and it runs great. Just make sure you have a checklist and before you start you have EVERYTHING. It took me about a week by myself and about 3 or 4 hours a day.
