    Motor for a '88 accord

    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.

    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.
