really nice project man. I love oldschool civics and it looks like you have a decent amount of work into this one getting this swap done. It makes me feel like i can get my accord back on the road soon lol

I like the swap I know many people that buy and do motor swaps on crxs do to their light *** curb weight of 1800 pounds but to lose another $400 pounds is worth finding a 1st gen for

It'll probably hold though. You'd be surprised how much even a small tack could hold.
Guess I'll have to granny shift, not double clutch like I should...

personally i think it will hold fine. honestly, preheating anything thats not cast is a waist of time.

Not really. with the pissy little welder I used, it helped a LOT. It just can't make enough heat on it's own. Even putting a propane torch to it helps noticeably. Sure if you have a full size MIG welder with 220v you don't gotta worry about it, but for us cheap ------s, we do what we gotta do.

Great project.One of those was my first ride back when i got my licence.I think your mounts will be fine the stock ones are paper thin and tacked on anyways.Hockey pucks are great for body lifts on trucks or use as mount fillers
