hasport is known to be one of the better companies for engine swap motor mounts, but other companies like place racing and HCP also make em.


you are also gonna need a number of other parts like axles, shift linkage, ECU (with an OBD conversion harness if its different than your cars), dizzy etc. depending on what you are getting with the purchase of the motor, and what year it is from. if its a USDM b16a2, then its from a 99-00 civic si, which is OBD2. your car is OBD1. some changes will have to be made there.

as for the labor, 800 would be a good deal if the mechanic knows what he/she is doing. motor swaps are not all that difficult, but they dont just 'drop right in' as mr. fucktard up here seems to think.

good luck and keep us posted.
wtf is up your ass. the only reason i thought it would drop right in is because my friend just purchased a del sol about 1.5 months ago for $800 and it had a blown factory b16 in it so he swapped a new one in no problem, in fact it took us roughly 6-8 hours to completely finish the swap. there was no buying new mounts or axels or none of that shit, he just used all his stuff from his factory b16. now if this guy owns the single cam del sol version then thats a totally different thing, i was just speaking from recent swap experience.h:
