black top too.

buddy of mine just swapped one into that same gen civic hatch, went right in using the stock civic mounts. he had to cut a notch into the timing belt cover, but it clears the belt. it bolts right in, but you gotta swap some of the engine bay and fuel tank fuel lines if the crx is carb'd. other than that your good to go. something about the fuel pickup/return lines are too small for the DOHC D-series.

bugs me he likes to call it an LS, since it came from an "LS" integra.. and he swore by god it was a B series since it was a dual cam, but then he pressure washed the motor and saw the D16
