I get this question constantly, and as the resident 7th gen guru, I'm here to answer this once and for all. NO, you cannot put a B-Series engine in a 7th gen. There are no motor mounts that are currently available for a B-Series in a 7th gen, much less a wiring harness. There is only one, yes only one, 7th gen Civic under B-Series power. It is a car prepped purely as a race car to run the salt flats. Also, the 7th gen Civic started production in 2001. Therefore, the only B-Series engine that would even be emissions legal to install is one from a 2001 Integra. There were no other B-Series engines in production at that time. You must install an engine from the same year, or newer, in order to pass emissions. If you have a 2002 or newer, tough. The K-Series is the next incarnation of high horsepower Honda motors, and in 7th gens, it is the only way to go.

And NO, you cannot swap an F20C into a 7th gen either.
