help on honda del sol b16 swap

[hondamonkey01]

I am taking my sohc vtec motor out and putting ina b16 dohc vtec motor from a 00' civic si. The motor originally was in a 94 hatchback. It comes with axles motor mounts, ecu and the wiring harness. I want to know will it be a straight drop in? It should be the same as the eg civic right? Will I encounter any problems with the del sol other than wiring? The motor mounts should line up right? Thanks, c

Please search next time - that's what the search button is for. This is a very common topic in the Del Sol board and gets asked just about every week.

But a friendly side note: if your Del Sol is an automatic you will have to cut the mount over the transmission and weld on the B series mount since they're not located in the same place. Otherwise the B16 should fit right in. And you may want to get the VTEC dual-core radiator.

Here's a general parts list:

I'm thinkin if you're asking questions that basic this early on, find someone who really knows their stuff to do it for you.... just a thought.
