off the top of my head and im sure ill miss some things. mounts, axles, ecu, shift linkage. also plan on getting an ls intake manifold because to my knowledge, the b20 IM wont fit. and also plan on having some exhaust work done.

Ok, You have to use the harness that is currently in the car that the swap is going into. Use your civic's harness.

It sounds like you should just pay someone to do the swap for you. Also you need to do a timing belt and water pump on the B20 because you most likely do not know the history of that engine. If you decide to have some one do it PM me and I can give you a price.

you do need to do a timing belt and water pump like said before. its a great preventative maintenance thing to do when you can do it out of the car. and if you have never done one, dont just try on your motor. its a crucial thing to mess up.

Why is it really important to mess it up? I always thought it should be done the right way. Hmmm.
