Wow, first post!! Yes, I did a search. Anyway, my son bought a 92 Civic CX hatchback and wanted to put a B16A SiR II into it. So he bought one on ebay and now he is trying to put it in.
We got all the wiring done, thanks to this site and Rywire.
My question/problem is we dropped in the engine and hooked up the driver's and passenger's mounts, then put in the rear mount bracket which came with the engine. When we then tried to install the shift linkage we couldn't hook it up. It was like it's 1"-2" too long. So I contacted the place I bought the swap from (Osaka) and they said it can't be the shift linkage because there are only 2 kinds (Civic/Integra and the other being a Del Sol).
So my thought is, I might just have the wrong motor mounts or brackets. We are using the CX's rear mount, CX's driver's mount, the CX's passenger bracket but mount which came with the engine. See pictures
Anyone have any ideas? Do we have a wrong mount or bracket we are using throwing the engine back an inch or two?
BTW, we painted up the engine and trans with aluminum engine paint and it looks pretty good huh?
Appreciate any and all help
