they are std b18c6 engine mounts. the rear mount is a custom mount that comes with the frame.
sorry no goodies at the moment.

I like stuff to look stock from the outside.
Cheers

it will fit in a std rounde nose , will need to mod the exhaust/custom one , also a custom rad will be needed.
also the alternator will have to be moved... they are the major ones
as to the price , well its not finished yet , and allot of extra cost has gone to buy the Type R engine which is about 4-5 times the price of a std b16a engine
look to be spending about 6-8k with me if you wanted me to do a std 1.6 vtec conversion
ps, ok some mini pros will spot a longer front end , but 99% of people wont as you are overtaking them ! it does save so much time and money just using a extended front.
