there are a few things that need to be done to do this. first you need to make sure you have the correct shift linkage. secondly you will need to find out if your car has a hydro or cable tranny and what tranny is on the b series motor you are getting and make sure they are the same. most b series have hydros unless its from a 91 or so. your car could have either one, 88-91 is the time period Honda changed to hydro trannys. you also will need to get mounts for a 88-91 b series so the motor will fit correctly. if the motor is obd0 then you can just plug everything back up and just add a few wires but if it is obd1 then you will have convert your obd0 vehicle to work with the obd1 motor there are instructions on how to do so, and you can buy pre made harnesses. also you will need a b series ecu. other then that just swap the motors. it really is not as hard as it seems don't be discouraged get a few friends and a cherry picker and you will be able to do it in 1-2 days if you read up and prepare everything.

Will a 1998 civic motor fit a 1993 Honda civic?
Yes and No. The motor itself will fit as long as it is the same series of motor. Any D series motor is interchangeable. The Problem you will run into with a 98-93 swap is the computer system interchange. A 93 civic is running Obd1 and a 98 civic is Obd2. If u are changing the type of motor from say D series to B series i would refer to a forum that has a walk through to swap, or at least a list of parts you will need to buy for the swap. a good resource is honda-tech.com the motor itself is interchangeable, and most of the sensors... if you have old motor swap everything over so it will just bolt right in..
