I was just wondering if anyone knows a company that makes motor mounts for the b16 to go into the 7th gen civic?

Mounts? No.
Legal? If you put a 2001 B18B/C/C5 in from an Integra, yes.
Possible? Yup. It would actually be easier to fit the B block in there instead of the K, since it spins the same direction as your D block... but the market is so small I doubt that anyone is going to make mounts for it.
Why put a B16 in a new SI. Granted most people like tradition, that is why they like the B series over the K series. *Bash me all you want* People don't like change. Anyway, why put a smaller engine into a newer car. First of all, you need to spend anywhere from $14,000 to $20,000 just to get a new SI, then buy the B16 and mounts and everything else you need then you need to pay to install it. You're looking a up to $30,000 for a way slower SI because it is 100lbs heavier than 99-00 SI, and you lose the much needed extra torque because of the weight. Just my two cents, even though it is only worth one.
Supposedly Hasport is working on making the mounts to put a B-series into the new civics... supposedly. But just stick with a K-series. It's already been done, so it's less of a headache.
