    if you're switch from a single cam to a dual cam...you are gonna need a transmission to go with the new motor. the d16z6 trans will not bolt to the b18.

    its gonna be a full swap....no just replace the motor and ride out. unless you do some modifications with a bracket to bolt the d-trans to the b-motor. probably gonna be best to just use a new harness with the motor as well.

    mounts may work...not completely positive about it.

    when you do the swap, get a LS harness that goes with the motor. it will eliminate all the problems for the wiring and shit since it just "plug and play"

    that is, if everything OBD-whatever you have, lol.
