Blown D16Z6. Need help for B18A1.

Hey guys, so here's what going on. Blew the block on my stock D16 last week in my DD. A buddy of mine said he has an extra B18A1, B-series hydro tranny, and shift linkage that he'd trade me for my xbox 360. I agreed and picked it up.

Here's the obvious things it needs:
Exhaust mani + gasket
Dizzy
Axles
Mounts

I know I need more but I'm not too familiar with this engine and I tried searching the forum and Google, but all I came up with was trouble shooting sh*t. I just need help with what else I'll need to swap. Only the things to get it running and driving properly for now. Upgrades will come later. Any help would be cool. And if you have any suggestions on the cheapest place to get them, that would also be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Going to need the ecu for the b-series and the harness.

You searched B18 swap into a 5th gen and got nothing? This has been one of the most common swaps for almost the last 2 decades. It's been a while, but I think there are forums dedicated specifically for swapping a b-series.

Did you read this article? http://www.hondahookup.com/info/engine_swap_faq.php Should have been the first place you landed.

Thanks bro. I just searched for the B18A1 instead of B18. That's probably why I didn't come up with anything. I really apappreciate your help man.
