So I bought a B18b from a 96 LS for my 97 DX. Heres a list i've came up with of stuff I need.

Required for swap:

Tranny (LS or GSR)
ECU (from an LS)
Shift linkage (LS or GSR)
Wire Harness (from LS only?)
SI rear mount
Del Sol Ac bracket
CV Shafts (depending on the tranny)

Optional Replacing parts:

Clutch

Priced at my job:

Spark Plugs
Dist Rotor
Dist Cap
Wires
Head Gasket
Belts
Timing Belt
Oil Seal
Main seal
Cam seal
Oil pan set
CV Shafts
Ign Coil

Total: $525.91


A list of questions I have:

Should I replace anything else?
Will I be fine with the stock exaust for a while?
Will I be fine with the DX radiator?
What hoses do I use if I can use the DX radiator?
Can I use shift linkage from a GSR?
If I buy a mount kit, do i still need the si rear mount and del sol ac bracket?


Thats all I can brainstorm up right now this early in the morning lol. Please let me know if I should replace anything else or if im missing anything, as im sure i am.

1. yes if you buy a mount kit you will still need the SI rear and the SI driver side bracket.
2. you need to use your stock wire harness, buy you will have to use two plugs off the LS and solder them onto the Stock harness.
3. you can use your DX Raddy, But you will need to get a different top hose.
4. yes you can use a GSR linkage.

I'm doing to same swap in my 96LX, I'll hit you up with better info later.
