I'm hoping to put the B18 Honda(1800 dohc v tec) engine into my honda engined 216, can anyone shed any light on whether engine mounts line up,gear selecter matches up and drive shafts fit hubs? thanks...

I think i read either on here or another forum that some had fitted a b16 v-tech into a R8 and they had to fabricate new engine mounts on the inner wings and the gear linkages from the donor car and also of coarse the wiring loom and ecu.
