    I bought the JDM font clip from Nad Auto… I got it for $2200 that’s because it had 37000k, LSD, and also had the black housing headlights plus everything else… yeah I took my h22 engine out on day one, and on day two I took my h23 out and put in my h22. I did not change any belts due the miles on this motor, I swap the h22 ecu. I didn’t wire the vtec, because I was unsecured, so I took it to my friends shop
    ( H&M Motorsports) on day three for one hour to get the vtec wire up.
    Give him a call tell Mony that berny sent you he was supposed to do my swap for a good price but I end up doing it by myself. (678)985-5545

    if its an SH , good luck. doesnt the SH have the ATTS tranny that cant be used in any other chassis because of the way the "half shaft"is?

    to my memory thats what i thought. The SH swap can only be used in a SH compatible BB6 or so i thought.

    i could be wrong, but if memory serves...............

The big difference is where the mounting points for the intermediate shaft (base) and the ATTS unit (SH) bolt onto the backside of the block. this has been covered SOOO many times...

    I have fabricated a bracket that replaces the ATTS unit with the intermediate shaft. What do you want to know? The bolt pattern is not square at all it is at all sorts of different depths and heights and other issues. I had to create a cardboard template, transfer that to mild steel, then see if it fit, make adjustments, then made a final copy. It is a true custom fabrication job, it is a PITA. If you have a base tranny and an SH block then you just bolt them together and start measuring where the Intermediate shaft sits and fabricate.
