Hi,
I'm new here,I hope you'll help me out,I swapped my engine with a D15b engine, my problem is that the body is rusty,the mechanics have to put steel plates to strenghten the mount.I would like to know if there is a better way to strenghten it,coz my mechanics told me that I can't drive my car hard or my engine will fall.I own a 1977 4 door version of 1st gen honda civic,it's originally come with 1488cc engine(non cvcc).
I changed my seat to Sparco Sprint front and planing to add an Autometer monster tach.I'll post my car pics went it's completed.

Hi
Actually fitting a d15b into a 1500 4 door version is not a big problem,u have to use the d15b mounting,the gear box will not fit,u have to cut a cut the tyre well a little bit,u can use your old drive shaft,but it has to be cut and balanced back to prevent uneven distribution of power,about the radiator,the cooling capicity of the old radiator won't be enough,u can use a bigger radiator and use two fans,push type where u put it in outside, and the usual one the pull type where it's located insied.
