if u decide to get nething other than the ls motor, u would most likely have to do a disc coversion to the rear wheels. for the b18b u might be ok with drums in the back.

i was under the impression that the stock motor mounts, for my civic, are used? actually, pretty much all the stock stuff is used...since this is one of the easiest swaps? also, if i get the b18b, i dont have to worry if i get an "automatic version".....is there an actual difference in the engine between auto and manual?
