I live in Australia and i was thinking of putting a B18C5 (from a '97 integra type-r front cut) into my EK Cxi Civic for a quick N/A hybrid car. I dont think much honda swapping goes on here in aus, well at least i dont here about it much, and i was just wondering how difficult it is to do. I know a fair bit about cars but i am not a mechanic or anything. I can work well practically and i have a mate whose a mechanic and i was wondering how hard it really is. In other words i would be a beginner engine swapper and if you have any suggestions or comments please post. If you know of any good links/books or anything that desribes step by step how to do a motor swap that would be great. Also if anyone has any previous experiences of doing a swap for the very first time and not working in the field of mechanics that would be cool too.
I would like to save the money i would have to spend on getting a workshop to do the conversion but the other thing is i know it would (hopefully) get done properly and with no hassles.
