No, the D16A1 does not bolt to the Civic transmission. You will also need the Integra trans, shift linkage, axles and steering knuckles. The D16A1 will run off of the Civic SI ECU, but for more performance you can also swap in the Integra ECU. Also think about swapping the brakes while you're at it.

bad head gasket. very slight chance of a cracked head but that's very uncommon with honda's
