ok first off is it a b16a dohc vtec

or is it a d16z6 sohc vtec

if its the sohc d16z6 then it will bolt up to your mounts and tranny. you will then have to eitehr modify the wiring harness of replace with one from the original motor.

the b16a with require new motor mounts because its a different style engine. it will also require i new transmission,shift linkage,and cv axles but that should all come with it.

so which is it?

Don't post twice when you screw up the first time... just edit your post. Welcome to Hondaswap, by the way.

It's a d16z6 and i'm using the tranny that's on it. hopefully switching to a hydraulic clutch isn,t too hard. otherwise i'll use the same tranny. and how complicated is it gonna be to switch the wiring harness
