a friend on mine had a 95 EX and was swapping in a b18c1, so he basically threw the d16z6 out on the ground and was happy to get any money out of it. i think he was planning on using it as lawn decoration.

DOHC. I ran into this guy who just came back from japan. and he claims that you can find b16's for $200-300 US dollars? mainly cause japanese are more into the Supras, WRX's, NSX's, and skylines. is this true???

btw, back to the mounting kit. this may not apply but, I've heard two things, and I suspect a third.

Heard:
1. You have to buy a mounting kit, and put new mounts in your car (eg: new places to mount an engine, welding involved) when swapping in a b series engine intoa car that wasnt formerly a b-series car.

2. You have to buy a mounting kit, which is really just those gian rubber bushings that replace the old ones on the b-series, and hold the engine in the previously non b-series car.

Suspect:
1. an engine mount kit is a good idea to get because a good rule of thumb is to replace old bushings when the opportunity is there and wear is present.

so whats the scoop? anything I've heard true? is my suspicion true? or am I WAY off base here?
thanks,

well i'm pretty sure that the b16 is a direct bolt in. you don't have to buy any motor mounts

Any b block is a direct bolt in, yeah.
