B18 C on D17A1 transmission
I have a 05 Honda Civic DX with a 5 speed manual transmission and I have a "massive" D17A1 engine... I want to swap for a B18C and my question is do I have to change my trany or I can use the same as I have???

Gotta change tranny, too.
sidenote, you might wanna check the legalities surrounding that engine swap. Rule of thumb: older engine in newer chassis is typically a no-go. Newer engine in older chassis is typically fine.
You'd probably be better off k-swapping your civic.
