I want to put in a B16a1 into my 88 accord hatchback. I am getting my motor and tranny from www.osakajdmotors.com it comes with:

Motor
Transmission
Engine Wiring Harness
All required Cables
ECU
Distributor
Complete Intake Manifold
Alternator
A/C
Power Steering Pump
All Brackets and Sensors

What else do I need just the linkage and Mounts? Also how hard is this swap do i just put the mounts on the motor drop it into place making sure the axles are straight and bolt the mounts in or what? Also What do i have to do with the ecu, can i get a harness that i can plug the B16a1 into the old ecu or can i just use the new ecu?

Dude, search is there! Use it! This subject has been discussed about a bajaillon times.

Sorry, but we are anal about the bandwidth: You need custom axles, and the harness needs to be made custom; you got everything else you need by the looks of it. Place Racing makes the mounts.

Look there, enjoy.

How do i go about making custom axles? There are no axles from any different car that i would be able to use?

You don't make them, you buy them from PRI.

You have two options.
Either get them from PRI or custom make them like i did, in a local shop.

Either way, contact me if you want a slightly better deal on PRI stuff.
