Default Motor swap
Im going to put a '92 integra B18a motor into a 1993 integra. How hard is it to swap? Details please, as in what to take off to do it. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

The engine should just be a direct bolt-in replacement.

Moved to Engine Swaps.

Pull it out all together! How many miles on the motor though? if it is a high mileage motor that wasn't maintain very well then you may need to rebuild the bottom end with new rings, bearing, gasket seals, etc. etc.

Well my brothers motor in his 93 integra is shot so im put my B18a in it, it has about 95,000mi. on it. It shouldn't be a problem putting it in with the tranny still attached would it?

No there should be any clearance issues. it better to drop in the motor and tranny together anyway!

Remove the old one as a complete unit with engine and tranny, remove tranny from motor, put on new motor, and drop in new motor/tranny. It should be that simple.

I planned on using my tranny as well. That shouldn't be a problem right? It should mount up the same.
