92-93 B17 into a 95 civic CX
Alright guys here it is I found a good b17 engine for cheap. I am already tired of my turbo D just to much stuff goes wrong. Now my question is, is did the 92-93 GSR's come with automatic trannies or not? And I have read that the b17 tranny is like the best B series tranny that there is. Also I have read that the b17 is OBD-1 is that correct any help would be appreciated thanks. I searched but none of these specific questions where answered and I wanted to make sure.

That's a pretty good deal for an all original B17A, I used to have a B17A shortblock kicking around my place. It had high milage and smoked like mad, but I still sold it to a guy who knew this for $450.
If you plan to keep the engine, you may want to consider getting some kind of crank girdle for it. B17A's are the largest displacment B-series DOHC VTEC engine without a girdle, and seem to have a nasty habit of spinning rod bearings when they get older. This flaw was recognized and corrected for the following B18C group.Z10 makes an excellent 3 main girdle for this reason.
