Thats the plan 
Haha...thanks man
Ok, so I haven't said anything as I wasn't sure when/if things were going to actually go down. I was selling stuff to save for new seats but then a friend and I were talking and he was in a spot that he needed a motor. I jokingly said buy mine and I'll pick up the one I want. Quickly the seat plan got put on the back burner and he opted to get my motor. Pulled it between Saturday/Sunday with the limited time we had each day to work...
Hover car status was not just for fender rolling...lol.
What might be going in place you ask? I went up to Richmond, about 2hrs from me, with a buddy to look at motors at JspecAuto.
Had my choice of 3 96/97 Spec B18C-R's...2 pictured as the 3rd was being pulled...
Choice made! Got the full swap and will be parting what I dont need
Random shifter that was on the linkage that didnt look like ITR. Some mystery JDM shifter...lol.
And on the subject of seats...homie decided that he wanted the Accord Euro R seats they had in stock at a crazy crack head price. So actually I will probably get his JDM black DC2's to replace my red Recaro Speed's. If I decide I want something a little more then the JDM's will go f/s also..lol.

Thanks guys. Looking forward to getting a few things done while the motor is out and then putting this R in place. Hope to be rolling by Christmas
Cleaning things up some, nothing crazy. Moving the alarm horn and probably getting the Spoon RigiCola kit Much easier to install that kit with no engine...lol. But also changing the test pipe if I can find the one I want in stock. If not it will change after the car is back on the road. I'll be adding a Hondata IM gasket to the ITR motor as well as a new Spoon thermostat and fan switch. Also putting in a tuck clutch line to ditch that OEM contraption...lol. New belts as well since its down out easy to get to and painting the PS and AC brackets.

OEM fresh for the R!
Thanks man. Got the trans pulled off the R motor and the motor up on the stand. Should get all the maintenance done this week and try to drop in next weekend.
Nice!
Ballout 
Thanks all
Yes emerican, I plan on doing a dyno tune some time after the new year. I have a base map chip and a tuned chip to plug in until I get on the rollers. I have a Hondata S200 setup for the P28 but I'm just going to pull that chip out and use one of the other chips for now. I have no clue whats on the S200 so I dont feel safe starting it up on it. It was something I got in trade with no history as my buddy got it in trade also...lol. I might end up trading the S200 stuff in and upgrading it to 300 anyway...we shall see!
