who the hell are you, all this seems pretty heavy s**t to do. how do you know how to do all this?
it really wouldnt be that tough. u hold the engine in the bay, connect the axles and take measurements for the brackets. and then the wiring all comes from a 88-89 civic...

correct me if im wrong.

That is so pimping. Like wow. My girls dad has an 85 Civic hatch. It still runs on the original engine and clutch. Hehe, going on 275,XXX. This is awesome and can't wait to see it in Honda Tuning and every other Tuner mag there is. Let's see it hit VTEC!

yea, hondatuning probably wont care about something like this. the majority of the cars they feature never move under their own power.

your right with some but easy
naa not easy and axles not made tell motor trans are in custom axles cut-resplined to fit Note: nothing is like the 4 gen civic swap, cutting frame rails and mount placement center level like you know had to pull the motor out 15 times and back for line up easy come on. its a 80 cvcc not a bolt in 4th gen civic,
ya the 90 civic wiring is in but all dash plugs are pinned wiring color is not the same
fuel lines ran, fuel pump made to run more than 30 psi
now for the other small crap that makes it what you say easy
rad fan,rad hoses clutch cable ::: note acura will not fit,
Vss was fun, now for the springs its an 80 civic so now the motor is smaller and the torque is bigger smaller with weight yes the b16 is lighter than the 1.3. b16 cast alum.. and 1.3 cast iron
trac-bars have to be made.
most of this all fun but easy to swap NO, only need to do a few things, try it yourself.

its like puting a V8 in a civic, nothing fits you make it fit but not easy or cut and dry.
great that you can narrate this into something small like a bolt up.
what made you king of tech questions on my swap with answers
im sure a 16 yr old will talk the same
like i did a swap with a dx to si so i know all. - riggghtt

you might be right as far as someone as young as you, but im on hondatuning forums with most of the sponsers from jegs and dart heads, so eat it. how do you think i got the money to fund the cvcc... you and your wannabe EX VVVVroomtech ricer stock motor that you call fast.
