im pretty sure you need to "de-pin" those connectors with a safety pin, or a pin extractor if youre a baller, and plug the pins into the appropriate connectors that will fit. BTW, i dont have any diagrams on what needs to be repinned for your swap. i just know that when i have helped some friends with their swaps that repinning ---- was necessary. you need to lookup the wiring diagrams, or get lucky by having somebody here tell you what to repin.

then again i know that sometimes connectors are not used and people just let them hang in the engine bay(i personally have a few of those).

i take it this is an B18a motor. you need to use the harness that came with the car and need to splice a few connections.

do you have manuals for your car and the car the engine came out of? check out the sticky by TJMX, he's a baller.

just making a few guesses from the pics...

92-93 B18A1 intake manifold (no dashpot and the holes are plugged for the air boost valve)

96+ B18B valve cover


so which engine is it?? b18a1 92-93 or b18b 96+
