well, if he's planning on swapping a b16 into his 94 del sol, chances are that he has a sohc engine unless he has a (very rare) 94 VTEC model with high mileage or a blown motor, but one can assume that if he's asking about needing new mounts, that was not the case.
i just hate when people say 'oh, yeah that'll drop right in' when it obviously will not. what if he read your post and started tearing down his engine bay thinking he had all the parts he needed? it's better to think about the situation and do a little bit of thinking before just spouting off about how 'just about any honda motor will drop right in' just because you replaced the long block of a del sol with a factory b16 in 8 hours. me and my buddy did a sohc vtec d series swap in 4hrs in my EF. big deal.
my point is that you shouldn't make posts like yours just because you happened to get lucky in your situation and just had to replace a longblock in a vtec del sol. most people that are doing swaps in sols are gonna be doing b series swaps, and have d series engines from the factory.
