Your going to have to either move the firewall back, or do some HEAVY mods to the front end radiator area to make the motor fit. The trans isn't much of a problem as long as you have the ecu to run it.

i am very mechaniclly inclinded. we have a shop in santa ana, ca. called power pro. We specialized in honda and acura but have been into cars since we were kids. i have heard of few people doing this swap and i knoe it wont be a problem just wondering if anyone had any tips or tricks. as far as wiring goes that wont be a problem. i knoe part of the firewall needs to be cut to fit the tranny and i knoe that i need to use an electric water pump, fan due to space in the engine bay. just wondering if anyone that has accually done this swap could give me any info like what i should do with the motor mounts, what i need to do with the sterring since it will be in the way
