    Talk to OldSchoolSwap, ask him about a B-series PRI kit. You may want to consider putting a B16A head on it also known as LS/VTEC.

    The swap kit is around $1200 for mounts, custom axles, shifter and a harness.

    Probably everything you need to know about motorswaps, not everything that happens in his life.

    You will definitely need a new ECU and axles if you're swapping. Good luck.

    You should modify your profile to include "LX-I" or "LX / DX" next to the type of vehicle you drive.

    Well, the reason i asked about the Fuel injected or Carb is because. The only way that i've done swaps is with Fuel injected Accords.
    Place Racing makes the mounts to fit any B series motor into our chassis.

    However all B series motors come EFI wich means:

    A. convert your carbed vehicle into EFI specs
    B. convert your B series motor into Carb specs (not recomended unless strip only)
    C. buy an Lx-i or Se-i Accord
