Default engine swap

Considering swapping the engine out of my '92Dx hatchback (stock) with a B20A this summer, just wondering if it will work, and if so how much work am I in for? I'd like to do it.. pretty much just to see what happens... and cause I can get the engine (112000 mi)from my buddys smashed prelude for little or nothing. thanks!

Default RE: engine swap

i would suggest the b18 ls 1.8 dohc from an integra. they are great for boosting. but the b20 is a direct replacement for the b18. the walls are thinner than that of a b18. but if you have a motor already then i guess you can do it. depending on what year the motor is, here is a list of things youll need:
-axles from the b20
-ecu from the b20
-converted engine mounts from ebay or hasport
-modified shift linkage from ebay or hasport
-obd conversion harness depending on what year of the motor
let me know if you have any questions
