Your best bet is to go to redpepper. Im in the middle of a b20 swap in an 86 si hatch now. we have the hasport mounts, but as far as I know they arent being made anymore.. or wait it might be the custom shift linkage your gunna need.

Re: 1g rex swap
you can sometimes find the swap parts on g1teg.org, or on redpepperracing.com. sometimes people even make knockoffs of the hasport ones. im happy with my 89 d16a1 turbo right now...maybe ill switch into a b series eventually. it will just take a lot of money (axles, mounts, linkage)..but the wiring will be plug and play mostly
also, my buddy is selling a couple b16's. full motors..and i think one has a tranny. i can find out how much $$...but we mostly want local pickup

I've never met Bryman, but I've talked to a few of his friends who helped him lay that B16 in the car, before it was turbo'd. It is an unpleasant experience.
If you ever see one of those cars B-swapped, run your finger between the firewall and the IM plenum. Haha.
I had an 86 CRX Si, 87 D16A1 (112 hp, 118 was 88-89) with 88 gearbox. I loved the damn thing. They are a lot nicer than the later CRX's. Wish I had it back.
