Is there a b16 model engine that will bolt in to the 88 model civics? If not a direct bolt-in, is there one that requires little modifications?
 
I've heard so many different stories on wether it will bolt in or not, but I've done alot of asking around and I'm pretty sure that you'll have to buy a mount kit if it's a u.s. spec civic. I've talked to a guy who said he dropped one in without mounts but he said that the headers were way to close to the radiator. Hell don't buy the mounts and try to buy a compact radiator. But I'm pretty sure you'll need mounts, and if you get mounts you'll have to buy the linkage kit from hasport. If it's a dx or lower you will have to convert to MPFI(multiport fuel injection) which isn't that hard. It's pretty easy to find a write up on this. Anything else just ask
