Default Need Help with a swap in the 757

Sup peeps, I'm asking this in hopes that I can find some peeps to help me out with a possible swap. What I plan to do is transfer my 96 GS-R engine, into my 92 Civic sedan Lx. I know most of you are asking why I would want to do such a thing, well it's all a matter of personal taste and appearance to me. The civic has a 2 year old paint job and looks good, plus the interior is dark grayish or close to charcoal. This civic is in great condition, inside and out. The teg on the other hand is green and has bright ass tan interior. Ok, Both cars are currently working, the GS-R just hit 100k and the civic is at 170K, but it runs damn good for a 1.5L push buggy. I plan on changing everything over to the civic; engine, tranny, ECU ( if possible ), axles, brakes, suspension, and the 2 front seats. . Thats if everything is a direct bolt on. If im correct I don't need motormounts, but I may buy new OEM mounts since the stocks have 100k miles on them.
I really don't want to pay anyone the full price to do the work, I'm hoping, ( praying ) that a fellow tuner wouldn't mind helping me out, and lending a hand. I have never done any engine work of this caliber, so I would preferebly need someone with prior experience. I'm military so I have use to any of the following locations to do the work, Langley Air Base, Ft. Story, Dam Neck, or Oceana. I figure all the work could be done in the matter of one weekend, ( Fri - Sun.). This would include taking out two engines, and putting the GS-R back into the civic. If anyone has some time on their hands, and wouldn't mind lending a hand and time, let me know,or let Tony know. I'm more than willing to help, it's knowledge gained. Shyt I'll even try to get Ray down to help too. I wish I could just afford to pay to have it done, but shyt I got two kids and a wife and an $800 dollar rent, so that tells you where all my money goes. If needed, I could probably only spare $100 to $200 bucks for helping out. Thanks for the space and if you reply I won't be responding back until late in the evenings, ( no computer at work ) or you can call my cell, 757 561 6487. If calling from the southside, you will have to dial the 757 ( don't ask me, it's fukin Sprint ) unless using a cell phone. All others, I'm located in the 757 region. Email is B18Tuner@MSN.COM
