Why hasn't this been done yet?

I have a 01 so I've been looking around at the 01 b18c5.. why aren't these swaps done? Does anyone make motor mounts for this setup? Are there problems with this setup? Any information is helpful since this looks like an affordable alternative to a k20 and I want a happy car.

Can I order custom motor mounts?
Would the ECU be compatible or would I need an E-manage (or some other setup)
Would I have to custom machine any of the gearing to be compatible with my axles (or RSX-S)? I had this problem with my '91 cherokee that had Dana 44's and a Chevy 350 small block, some linkages didn't add up.

at any rate, off to sleep for me, if anyone can help with info I greatly appreciate it.

No one makes mounts for it considering the fact that you can only swap that engine in to one year of our car. IE: The whole dumb law of you can only put the same year engine in the same year car or older. So its not in the manufactures interest to make parts such as mount. Also there has a been a B-Series swap, it was in Import Tuner and i know theres a link around here on one of these pages.

needs custom everything. Search for B series swap and you'll find a ton of threads...
