B15 -> Jdm B15
OK, I realize this is not your "bread and butter" motor swap, but this is an old "tired" '92 civic that my daughter is going to inherit.
The OEM B15 got blown up when my wife saw the temp gauge pegged (blown water pump) and drove it home anyway. She didn't want to walk! I bought a (cheap) JDM B15 (both engines are the 16-valve variety) and swapped. Unfortunately, the driver-side motor mount is wrong. The OEM engine bracket has two posts that run parallel to the fender. The JDM engine bracket has the same two posts, but they are angled at about 45 degrees.  The guys at the local "ricer shop" say you can't buy a JDM motor mount. Partial disassembly of the old motor seems to indicate the engine bracket is actually part of the casting for the block.  Is there a "simple" solution here????? Gawd, I hope so! Thanks in advance. Mike

If I posted 3 times, I apologize. The first couple of times I tried to post the board told me I wasn't signed in anymore. So, I signed back in and tried again... and again... I'm not fluent in all the motor codes, but it's a 1.5 liter out of a 1992 4-door Civic LX (non-VTEC), has 16 valves and made about 102 hp from the factory. The JDM motor is visually almost identical right down to the "16 valve" on the valve cover. Hope this helps!

Yip, all the mounts are just bolted to the block. Im surprised the mounts are differnt though, Im guessing the JDM D15 didn't com e out of another EG Civic. It might be out of anything from a CRX, to an EK Civic to an Integra (the last two would explain the odd engine mount) .
