B series engine mounts!!! READ!!!

[Civvy]

Yea thats me, but your post got kinda confusing, do you mean a 3g accord engine or 3g Lude engine? yes, ive installed a 3g Accord engine, they are the same B20 as the 2g Ludes but sit forward rather than toward the rear.
More confusion maybe because i'm considering installing the 3g Lude engine now.
I'm afraid i dont know much about the accord bay, I have worked in a few and assumed them to be similar.
I think you must of meant the mob was infact trying to put a 3g Lude engine in his ccord?
Info from this thread points to a difference between width of the front crossmember being different from the Lude, but as i said the 2g Lude also has different size crossmembers. Further to crossmembers, I would not hessitate to custom making one with specs from the original for the tiebars.

I havent really got many pictures of my bay, but here you go.

Sorry i've interpreted that you installed a Prelude 3g engine into your 2nd prelude.

But I take it that's what your CURRENTLY undertaking, which i'm curious as to how your doing it.

I've seen a photo of it done before, I think the firewall had to be massaged and otherwise, it fit, left plenty of room in the front for a turbo.

I'd love to consider a B20A swap but they are virtually non-existent here. Only ones around are the B20AX, 3rd gen preludes are everywhere.

[Civvy]

So what you waiting for then??? throw in a A5!

[gr3k0sLaV]

Well if I knew it could be done feasibly I would. However everyone here seems to think that it's virtually impossible.

And can't be done, but the upon realising that i've seen someone stick one in a 2nd gen prelude, seems to indicate it is possible with a fair bit of work .

Arrhh and how many people like to use their imagination? Most people would rather spend hours in the shed rebuilding 20 year old units....Doh!

[Vanilla Sky]

if i had the money, i'd get me some lower crossmembers and have at it. just lack the money.

[SmokingTires]

Mistake me if I'm wrong but no one has made the mounts themselves? I'm trying to do a B16A1 OBD2 swap into my 3g but I have yet to locate mounts....

[Vanilla Sky]

oldschool swap did, and another new member came onto the board with a set of custom mounts. shouldn't be too hard. just have to know how to weld.

[Swap_File]

I agree with what buds302 said, it seems silly to spend more on mounts and axels than on the whole engine and transmission you will be putting in.

If I could do a B series swap (B20A doesn't count, I won't be finding one in a USA junkyard) with using (mostly) home made or junkyard parts I would be very interested.

While I do not have any mounts to take measurements from, I would definately like to help, but am not sure how I could.

This whole issue might be resolved in the next few months.

Civvy, I think is some photos of your beautiful prelude in this site?:

Why do you say that Steve? I haven't any luck finding specs. I have full access to a machine shop ready and willling in the S.F. Bay Area if I could only get a spec sheet.

Because mounts may become available. I just need some time.

looking good, are you going to make a mount for the tranny, I would suggest it for safty reasons, but definitly good work. This is the PRI mount

[masterkillalw]

yes. I am going to have a one made up. Plus I am going to get the drivers sied made up as well. Just so the engine fits better. The rear crossmember is just gonna get drilled and I am going to put bolts in it. With pictures like that someone can get someone to make those mounts...they don't look that well built but hey not my problem...

they look a little crapy, because the guy I bought them from had them welded in the car. Good luck with your project and have you put the axles in yet?

[ICEMAN707]

hey legend master, draw up some specs on those PRI mounts bro. PM it to me.

[kaltenacht]

Completely awesome

Telling you people, I got the software for it. Just need the actual parts.

[Legend_master]

you should post up the schematics and see if anybody here can get the peices made.

[SteveDX89]

I can get them made as well. If you don't need to use yours yet for a little while, you can send them to me and I'll draw them up and send them back. I have no reason to keep them considering I only have one 3g and already have a set of mounts.

I dont have a problem sending them to you, but I will be sticking the motor in very soon. I will draw the scematics up soon and post them for everybody.
