First off, your dumb ass is looking for help, I told you to try Hasport. I didnt tell you that they sold the mounts that you are looking for nor do I CARE. I told you that it would be a good place to start. So for you to start poppin off at the mouth to me is a wrong thing to do, Im simply giving you a place to start looking, since you cant do it for yourself.

i have a great idea. why dont you take your motor out and get the b20. put the car level on jack stands. then take the b20 and put it in the car with out hooking anything up. level the motor to where you want it and start measuring. you said all you have is time. well this will take some time. but find someone with a chop saw and a welder. a torch would be nice too. take some junk mounts. like place racing or something like that and start cuting the acual mounts off them junk mounts. then get some metal and fabricate your own mounts. like i said. it will take some time but that is what you have right. make sure that all the mount are on the motor too. you can align it all by your self and when you have it all measured. weld your new mounts and put them in. you can start off by using blocks of wood for a diagram.

Yes the do come with a b20, but it isnt the b20 he wants to put in.... the stock prelude is b20a or something like that. the one he wants is a b20b

A "real" b-series would take more time & money in parts & labor that an H22 swap.. If you got the B20 for 600, you then need to buy tranny, alt, starter, ecu, harness, custom axles, convert for cable shifter to shift linkages.. Not mention its not going to clear the hood since b-series motors sit up right & the B20/1A, H22/3, F20/2/3, motor sit at an angle & all use cable shifters
