putting a b series in to a ek is not really difficult to do, as long as you got the same obd motor as your car. if not youll be needing extra parts or have a lil extra work to do. how complete did you get your swap? or do you even have it yet? and step by step guide....not really so much of one around. i used to have a book waaaaay back in the day, 99 i think that was a detailed swap guide or how to. but that was before the main stream and the complete drop in swaps we have now. i mean all it takes is a basic knowledge of mechanics and a basic set of tools, a good weekend and a friend to help out if needed and you got it. to me it sounds like you have no mechanical ability at all. if you really are set on doing this your self, i would ask one of your friends who is mechanically inclined or family relative to not so much as help, but be there when your doing the swap. that way you can have someone there that knows, and if you have any questions they can answer them....if not cc is always here...ha

motor, engine harness, motor mounts, ecu, shift linkage, tranny............thats pretty much everything you need. to make it as simple as possible make sure the harness was pulled intact (disconnected from ecu and pulled through the fire wall) it really is just plug n play

You won't need the harness, you can use your factory harness.
