I have a 2001 Civic that has a 1.7 auto. I was wondering what all would have to be changed to put in a b16 and tranny in it. The motor and tranny laid down in the car last week and I can buy a 96 Civic with low miles for parts. Just curious on what all would have to be changed. Engine, Tranny, Computer, and Wiring? Or are there alot more to it?

you need custom frab. 99% of people with 7th gens swap to K series.

If it were for performance I would definitely go to something different. But it is the wife's car and it is just for drivability. So thanks for you help.

It wouldn't be road legal, at least in Canada, and I'm pretty sure most states have the same law - The engine in the car has to be from the same year or newer than the car itself, and a b-series engine is definitely older than a D17. If you're not looking for a ton of performance, just add a few mods like a better intake and so on, and save yourself the hassle.

It's illegal.
It requires numerous custom parts.
You'd need to engineer the wiring yourself.
The b16 is a less efficient and practical engine than a d17.
Doing something different, usually isn't logical, there's a reason no one else does it.
