Well, tonight is the night. We begin surgery right after I close the shop. At the end of the weekend (hopefully) we will have the transmission overhauled and the 2.3 SOHC VTEC engine (modified F22B1) installed. Wish me luck!

sweet good luck!! i like to know more about that over haul tranny..What makes me laugh about forums, is that no matter how much you try to help someone, they dont take the advice. Go ahead and do it the hard way.
You got to respect what you drive, and appreciate what you have, making the best of what you got. and if that means putting CAI, HID's, a phat stereo system, and a idiot in the drivers seat...then so be it!
Retro!

Well, due to a bad counter-shaft in my transmission (the main reason for the swap) the car is not yet running. I should have the shaft tomorrow though, and then we'll be in business. So far what I've found: The head is wider, so the power steering bracket sticks out a little farther, which then prevents installation of the alternator bracket without modding the Alt. bracket or replacing the P/S bracket. The dipstick tubes are different, and the B1 block doesn't have the ear to bolt on the old tube, so I had to mod mine to fit. The B1 front engine mount bracket won't bolt to the mount itself, so we tried the B1 mount, but it's too wide, too long and too high. The A6 bracket can't be used because (without modding it) it rides too close to the timing belt and would end up hitting. The t-stat housing is WAY different on the VTECs, which I hadn't anticipated, so make sure to get an intake manifold with the housing already on it.
