i'm looking to get a b16a2 for my 98 hatch, i have a few questions about it, please help me out. thanks

is the tranny and catalytic converter included in the swap?

once i have the motor installed, do i let the insurance company know?

whats te average price for a full b16 swap?

 

tranny yes if its a full swap, cat, illegal for anyone to sell u a use cat(in cali it is) besides, they're cheap and u can probably reuse ur old one or get a aftermarket one.

its up to u to let the insurance know or not, so if the unthinkable happens, u be cover, rates might go up, dunno, i never told my insurance co.

average price for b16a2 full swap(w/out install) goes for 2500-2800 give or take.

when you go buy the engine... they'll state whether it is a longblock or shortblock.


longblocks usually do not come with tranny, ecu, distributor and shift linkages.

 

www.hondamotorsonline.com is a pretty decent place to begin your research

 

go to www.hondamotorsonline.com i just bought my motor from them and the guy steve is really helpful, they have the best prices too

 

thanks alot guys, but the one guy tha was talking about shortblocks and longblocks, can you pease explain that to me

 

thats how they usually sell their motors nowadays....they'll let you know if it is a complete changeover...or if it is just a longblock.


longblock packages only include the motor itself. no distributor, intake/exaust manifold, ecu, shift linkage, or tranny.


complete changeovers will include everything you need for the swap.

 

how long does it usually take to get a full swap done, just an estimate, i dont have the slightest clue

 

it took me and my cuzin and two of our friends 8 hours removal and install of a b16 into a 97 civic, while convertin from auto to manual.
