Welcome to the site. I am not a fan of headlights like that, but damn your coupe looks good with them. :thumb: Start a build thread and keep us updated on this beast.

From the top of my head I will write what you need.

-B16a
-Transmission
-ECU
-Wiring Harness
-Axles
-You can use the you can use the two side motor mounts from your D series (recommend you just get b-series ones though), but the back motor mount will need to be B-series.
-B-series shift linkage

That is all I can think of at the moment. It really isn't complicated at all. Have you swapped a motor before or is this your first time doing it?

No, this is my first conversion, my cousin is doing the swap for me and he knows what he is doing luckily we just need to know what we need and what we need to change etc.

sadly I dont think it will happen for a few months as i need to buy a clutch, manifold, distributor and the axles etc grrr but will update asap :)

- Sun Sep 25, 2011 4:56 pm #274399 Just make sure that when you guys are doing the swap that you help out also. Because you can't learn anything by just watching you need to do hand-on work to remember. It took me 4 hours to change a headgasket the first time, but now I can drop a motor (poorman style) and put in the new motor and bolt it all up and have it running in about 6 hours. :thumb: . Good luck with the swap.
