Help w/ B Swap please
The automatic B-series engines are so rare that I've honestly never even seen one myself (maybe rare's the wrong word, uncommon?). Do you have a digital camera you can take pics of them? I know with D-series engines, the top tranny mount attached to the frame rail is physically different (it slants up like / while manuals stay flat -). It's possible something like that is different? I don't know any resources to help you with the wiring. I would assume it's very similiar to regular automatic LS Integra's but I don't know how much that will help.
I know of one guy who did an automatic LS swap into an EG automatic civic. He had a nightmare of a time and basically ended up pulling the dash and using the entire Integra wiring harness inside the car as well. I can't remember his name of the top of my head but he hasn't posted here in years and I'm sure all his old posts were lost during on of the forum crashes. Sorry man.

Do you have any pics of the top of the tranny, specifically where the upper tranny mount attaches or of the actual mount itself. Like I said, I don't really know automatic B-series parts, I've never worked on one but maybe I can see if they're different?

see my new delema the original mount hole is about 1" from the new mount..... i think i should drill a new hole cause i don't know of a bracket to change this around and bolt right up

You gotta attach the images for them to show up. They might be for you but they just show up as red x's for me. I was able to get the last two but this one I can't access. If you hit post reply, the second option below the text box is manage attachments, you click that and you can browse and select the files to upload and attach. Give that a shot and see if that works better?.

hmm doesn't look like the tranny mounts I've seen. Maybe the auto has a different mount... in that case you need to find a b series manual tranny mount, and hope it matches the holes on your tranny
It sounds like you want to do the wiring yourself, but let me tell you DONT DO IT. No one does auto swaps. If you are set on using the auto (if money isnt big deal get rid of that POS auto) I highly sugest you talk to the guys over at rywire.com. They mostly deal with EF's but they really are the pros when it comes to wiring hondas. If they cant do the wiring for you I would say FORGET it because no one will be willing to tackle your project if they cant. Ryan from rywire.com is a stand up guy, he will answer every question you have even if he knows your not going to buy anything and thats something you really dont find anymore.
kinda doesn't matter the motor and trans will not work in my civic.... there is noway the rear bracket and pass side bracket will work so i guess it is time to sell it or swap it into a 90-93 integra and buy the correct motor to go in my civic.thanks,
steve
