1: yes, the type R intake mani will fit
2: no, you will need the hasport or raxles.com axles (hasport buys raxles.com and sells for higher markup)
3: valve cover wont hurt the hood. worse case you will need to dent the one rib on drivers side where it crosses the valve cover.
4: best engine mount in my opinion is made from 1/4 inch steel. somethinjg tells me that these will be made available to RPR members REALLY soon
5: HF (or any "half size") radiator is suggested but the full size *might* work.
you deffinitely wont be dissapointed with a B18 swap in your 1/3G

full size radiator works nice but not if you plan to turbo or put any crazy header desings and as far as axle the only others i can think of besides raxles and hasport is drive shaft shop but the are expensive

Nothing you can't fix with some decent adjustable hose clamps

use the stock crx upper hose and a 92-93 integra GSR lower hose with about 1 inch trimmed off of the radiator end and it fits perfectly.

^ that sounds really good, that is the only thing holding me back from a B swap, is the mounts, i already have a b16 and b16 tranny kick-in it in my back yard, but can't put it in cause i don't have the $500 for 3 mounts. so that would be nice.

id of gone b series awhile ago, but the mounts cost more than the long block trans and ecu, so i didnt.
cheap mounts would make my life.

Any idea on a time frame or costs? Finishing up my b18c5 build to drop in this race season and start the turbo b18c1 next week. Just haven't bought mounts yet, so was curious on this.
