Ok. I'm new to this Forum, but not new to Civics. Ive got an '89 Civic H/B DX. And Ive got a 90 Acura Integra LS----whole car. Im wanting to swap as much as possible from the 'Teg to the Civic, e.g. #1 engine & tranny(of course), front seats(better hugging), front and rear disc brakes, and possibly the dash or instrument cluster.

Ive already gotten a mount kit for the engine, all new gaskets(including timing belt and water pump), OBXR ceramic header with matching stainless catback exhaust, and Meagan adjustable cam gears. Ive read you have to make a dent in the driver side frame rail for clearance of the alternator pulley. Is this true and if so can anybody tell me how far back on the frame or show any pics? Also will the 'Teg's axles not work in my Civic? They have the same amount of teeth. Or are they to long? I dont think I have to fool with the wiring because Ive already change all of it when I had a ZC in it. Correct me if I'm wrong. Well i think these questions will keep a few people busy, so I'll stop for now. Any help will be appreciated. :iceslolan
