B16A2 in an 87 si hatch?

[Red_6]

Hello All,

I'm new to T-J and to civics but have been working on cars and other motors for many years. My friend and I are looking to build a car to rally-cross race. We have a B16A2 motor, trans, computers and wiring harness in a crate from my buddy's totaled 2000 si.

We are looking for a suitable car to stuff it in.

We've considered a vintage mini but the initial car purchase and conversion could be cost-prohibitive.

I've bumped into a couple cheap civics and I'm wondering what years are suitable for an engine/trans swap.

Most recently I found a 1987 hatchback si that needs a trans.

Anyone put a B16A2 in an 87?

Is it possible without major subframe replacement?

Any input is appreciated.

thanks,

Scott
