Gotta remeber he died befor most swaps were done,let alone done everyday. so i need some help.
Thanks

Do they even make a mount kit for that and have you considered the ECU issue? Ah well screw it I love DIY! Best of luck!

well plans are to use all wiring and ECU from the accord the motor is in now, so most of the rest SHOULD HOPEFULLY be fun stuff.
the engine is a 93, accord is a 92, im using the barn find 86 si...sounds like a numbers game.

yes i know its VTEC, but a few on most VTEC forums are to busy laughing and calling me stupid to really enjoy thier sites,since when is modding cars something to laugh at. Hell im almost 38 and im still modding them.

Thats gonna be nuts.
In for progress!

DIY is the way to go!

Whoa,...Thats crazy,I have an 87 Rex,title says 1834lbs,I couldn't imagine how tight the clearences are gonna be (space)

wow DUDE i got 1775 lbs on the title of the 86 si holy crap this will be tightttt....where is the worried face??

One thing you might look into for this swap is the Bisimoto H2D adaptor plate. This plate allows you to use a D-series transmission with an H-series motor. Specifically, you would use a 1986-1989 Integra transmission with the H22A. This would take care of any transmission and shift linkage issues. But you would still have issues when it comes to the driver side mount and drver side frame rail clearance, not to mention firewall clearance. But this might still be one of the easier ways to go when it comes to this swap.

Come to think of it, H2B might be a better idea than H2D. Yes, this does require a B-series mount kit in addition to the adaptor plate. BUT, B-series mount kits generally place the transmission bellhousing closer to the passenger side frame rail than a D-series transmission bellhousing will sit. This is important, since it will allow more room for the engine. I don't know if it will be enough room to not have to worry about crankshaft pulley/timing belt cover interference with the driver side frame rail. BUT, things should at least be significantly better than with H2D.
