what you need as in pieces, parts and procedures, or what you need as in branded parts for a specific goal?

assuming that this is for the 95 civic coupe dx..
Integra shift linkage
Integra axels
Integra motor mounts
obd1 p72 ecu or a chipped p28
if your wiring harness is not wired for vtec (i've heard obd1 civics were prewired for non vtec..can't remember), then you'll need a wired conversion harness (from Hasport.com). It's used for the lsvtec conversion and is only $75 last time I checked.

er..anything left out? PAT! help us out. :)

The swap is really not that hard. Just time consuming. Do you plan on keeping your power steering? If so, then you'll need a B-series hydraulic hose.

If you use an OBD2 B-series, you will have to rewire the plug for the distributor, alternator and IAT sensor.
