Advance auto parts for the axles...the swap is fairly easy.

Wow, please search. Or go to Honda-Tech and search. There are roughly a billion full swap guides for any engine into any chassis.

Hey dude! how's my old crx treating you?

Anyway, I'll second his post. A day if you know what you're doing a week if you don't. I would recommend hmotorsonline.com for the b16. I got my gsr from them and I absolutely love it! No problems at all.

Yeah it also depends on if your going to switch to obd1 electronics or stay obd0. If the latter its really more of a plug n' play affair. No real cutting, a little hammering and mostly bolting shit in.

A b16 will be decently quick in an ef, dont expect a supercar but itll get up and go.

As for time, plan for longer always. I though I was going to get my y8 into my car in a day, two max.. I had the old engine out in an hour and a half by myself, and the new one in...in 6 days. Had to go to work like everyday
