here is the driver side mount placement it was thin so i added more metal its all done for the mounts now putting the motor back in and doing the axles the axles are from the 84-87 civic the hub pline is the same as the 880-83 civic the trans knuckle is diff but the inside is the same change out knuckle to b16 i used 84-87 civic hub its easy. the contrl. arm is what im doing now i added 2 inch length with the hub knuckle off the civic 84-87 bigger brake Note: use the JDM 88-91 civic intermediate shaft not 90-92 integra its bigger the axles shaft are 17 inch both side with out ends. the 84-87 civic is 1.7 inch wider than the 80-83 civic thats the lower contrl. arm extenchion and strut. this is what i found out for now. ill post more as i go on.

That mount looks like it would eat children, but as long as it works I give it :thumbsup:
Do you think the Brake Master Cylinder is gonna fit with the larger engine in place? those lines look pretty close.
 
master cyl

i test fit every thing i have the 80-83 master cyl and the 84-87 civic and the 88-91 civic master cyl and they all fit great same room as stock the lines you see on the pic are loose and look like it has no room. on the mounts i had to test fit again like the 6th time pullin the motor out. gatta line up huh! this sunday i will try to have it started. i have some buddys to help. im making track-bars for the front right now im thinking its ganna have wheel hop! the ride will be hard but better than hoppin. the wiring will be done by sunday. gatta look for stock honda rota 13 inch or 14 steal wheels cant go with 12 in. stock.
 
the last motor mount i didnt post it so here it is
