so i found a place that will do the whole job for 4400. but they did'nt say anything about the axles is this something i need to bring up or no?

I would definitely find out if axles are included. In fact, I would get in writing that the car will be drivable with no mechanical issues for the amount quoted.

i have done this swap...well currently doing only have wiring left to do. Here is a basic outline. When you put the motor in make a BIG dent in the frame well i mean big use a big ass hammer. You can use your stock shift linkage but you need to lengthen it about an inch. But measure after engine is in. For axles i bought the hasport half shafts and got 86-89 integra inner and outer cv's. Cost was about 300 buck i think but i had brand new inner and outer cv's. You might want to consider putting a 92-94 civic radiator in so when you decide to get an after market header it will be able to fit. Use 92-93 integra gsr upper radiator hose. 90 to 91 integra lower hose trim to fit for both. Use 90 integra alternator belt if you dont have one. Use 90 to 93 jackshaft from integra. Make sure you get the bolts for the jackshaft. You need 88-91 civic clutch cable. You need 90 to 93 integra throttle cable. Take out old speedo gear out of your old tranny and put in new tranny. Then put speedo cable in. You also have to get 86-89 integra hubs and knuckles assembly. You then have to figure wiring on your own I am at that stage right now. Also you probably will have to cut cat, weld, and angle it to fit b16 header. Buy hasport kit spendy but worth it and get rear engine mount from 99 civic si you can get this from hasport for like 69 bucks i think. But save money dont buy linkage and 86-89 complete axles may work i dont know but you could try. Get ready to hall ass. This swap is a bitch but dont let it get you. I hope this helps and good luck
