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.

All you guys thank you very much for your answers. I will start looking into the conversion harness, and the motor mounts, shift linkage, and etc. If I have a hard time finding these parts Ill ask you guys. lolz. Thank you so much. The one part i am having a hard time to find is the 3 pedals. If you know of anyone that is willing to sell these pedals. PM me. or direct me to the market store, cuz I can't find any!! again thanks so much
