    Is there a reason you keep reposting this same question in different areas? I already deleted one of them today. This would be duplicate post #3.

    Depends on what transmission or intermediate shaft, if any, you use. Read.

    Why do you feel the need to be such a dick! I知 just looking for helpful advice. If you have a problem helping people why post anything at all. You gave some good info but, you were a dick while doing so. There is no point in trying to insult my creativity, I know all to well how to make adapter plates and cut and weld bell housings. But why do that when I can bolt something up. I'm new with the "Old" B20 stuff and was looking for help. So I guess what I知 trying to say is thank for the F*#king smart A$s Help/Advise that you gave me. It will be very helpful and I look forward to talking to you again.

    do you have a transmission for it....that engine should drop right in....its a direct replacement. the harness should be the same off a fuel injected accord....plan on running fuel injection or carbs?

    dude... seriously... i understand ur point, but think about it, there is a search bar up top that will point you WHEREVER you need to go on this site. because SO many people hop on here and ask the same questions, the answers are already ALL over this site. just do a lil bit of searchin and see what ya can find before typing - "i need to know everything, NOW!"

    Hey sweetheart, that's just the way I am. My assumptions are up to me, and it's up to you to prove me wrong.

    I was actually throwing you a bone. The answers are indeed all over the site, and they are far more thorough and detailed than I can provide.

    Oh, and good luck with the swap. Talk to you later.

    old school, keep us posted on the adapter plate if it comes to that!
    You have to ignor some of the newb flaming and also some of us myself included can come off abrasive at times so water off a ducks back man...

    the auto tx will do till you get something? Not much difference really until you do get ready to put in a 5 speed, as far as what extra expense or work you have to do with the swap.

    the adapter plate will only be 1/2" thick. plenty of room for that. plus for us guys with no trans and its not like b2k5's are just laying around waiting to be bought, we have to be crafty. hey the H to B kit started as and idea as well and now it sells for $1000+.
    P.S.
    another option is the d-series trans. its almost exactly the same. take a look.


    if i can make it fit ill just have to do a hydro conversion to make it work and get an electronic speedo

    wait... could you explain that a little better?..you had a complete ZC trans mounted to the B20A or you just had the gear box mounted to the b2k5 or B18A bell housing?

    Re: I NEED HELP!! JDM B20 Swap Questions!!!

    i think the point being made here is it may be less design issues making the adapter fit the B20a accord engine to a D series tranny??

    who was it before that was working on one of these, SQ?

    im not really desparate either, I would leave the auto tx on mine anyway since I have future plans on a b series swap in a different 3rd gen
