Check Hasport.com, they sell the motor mounts, shift linkage etc. Pretty much everything you'll need for your engine swap.

thanx.im still searchin many sites at the moment.i can get a combo of Engine + 5 Speed Trans + ECU for about $800 dollars.. (ZC motor) or i can get a combo of Engine + Cable Type Transmission + ECU for about $1350(B16AVtec) so im not to sure.its all about finding the right price thou.but id much rather have the B16A motor.so im leaning in that direction a bit more.the Jdm engines r actually quite pricey thou..

You have your terms incorrect - I think.

An Bseries motor only uses one half-shaft. It's a shaft that connects on the driver's side from the tranny to mid motor where it bolts to the back of the engine. From here, the axle connects and then continues on into the wheel hub.

Bseries motors all have a half-shaft. Dseries motors don't.

If you're swapping a Bseries into a car that didn't previously have a Bseries, you will have to get a Bseries half-shaft.

I hope this makes sense.

I just can't win.

What I was saying was, is that the company is in canada and might be easier to work with that getting something from the US.
