Largest Engine in a LX?
 

I was thinking of dropping a b18c5, but I'm not sure it would fit within the engine compartment of a '00 LX?

Whats the largest engine I can put into the LX without major modification? (Purchasing different engine mounts is ok..)

All the b series engine are approx. same size. The biggest engine that you can put in a civic for a practical price is the H22/prelude engine.

what ^ said.

well the '00 LX's have a D16Y7 engine.. will i need engine mounts to make a B-type engine fit?

or, will it drop in.

Its a straight drop in. You don't need to modify the mounts. You obviously need the tranny as well. So if your car is a an auto, you'll need to convert it which will add some to the cost....

yep!, alrighty, thanks for the input.

your stock mounts will NOT work unless you modify them.

um, so .. hmm.. whats the deal here..?

Yeah... will it work? or not work?
Anyone have a link or something to back up their claims or shed some light?

Are you sure there's an issue with putting a B series in as far as motor mounts go? I know the H series you need to modify them. I thought it was a straight drop in for the 6th gens....

"To fit any B-series engine into a 6G Civic, the rear mount from a 99-00 Civic Si (or 94-00 CRV) is required."

Right. But you don't have to modify anything like with a H series swap.

yeah i wasnt sure which mount it was @ the moment so i just said mounts :D
