Innovative Mounts B-Series Swap Mount Kit - 1988-1991 Honda Civic & CRX (EF)
Dropping a B-series into your EF Civic or CRX? Your mount kit is the piece that decides whether that swap goes together clean or turns into a weekend of fighting your own car. This Innovative Mounts kit is the easy button. It bolts your B-series into an ED, EE, or EF chassis with a cable transmission, no cutting your bodywork, no notching your hood, and no axle bind, and you get to pick how stiff you want it and whether you want steel or billet mounts.
Why The Mount Kit Makes Or Breaks A Swap
Here's what most people find out the hard way. Your mount kit sets exactly where the engine sits in the bay, and if that positioning is off even a little, everything downstream gets ugly. Sit it too high and you're taking a hammer or a cutting wheel to your hood to clear the valve cover. Get the angles wrong and your axles run at bind, which chews up CV joints and leaves you replacing axles you just bought. Innovative engineered this kit to put the engine exactly where it belongs, so you don't notch or trim a thing, and your axles sit at proper angles with no bind. It's a straight bolt-on, so your swap goes in and just works instead of becoming a fabrication project.
Pick Your Durometer
Four stiffness options, so you build the car you actually drive. Softer rides smoother and passes less vibration, stiffer holds the engine tighter for sharper response but sends more buzz into the cabin:
- 60A. The softest, and the pick for a street-driven swap where you still want it comfortable. Solid control without beating you up.
- 75A. A stiffer step up for a more aggressive street or performance setup that could use the extra rigidity.
- 85A. Firmer still, for hard driving and track use where you want the engine locked down.
- 95A. The stiffest, built for racing and serious builds. Maximum control, and you'll feel everything.
Rule of thumb: street swap, 60A or 75A. Track car, 85A. Full race, 95A.
Steel Or Billet, And Pick Your Finish
You've also got a choice on the mount bodies themselves. Steel is the straightforward, tough option that gets the job done and keeps the cost down. Billet is machined aluminum, so it's lighter and has that clean, finished look that stands out in a nicely done bay. If you want strong and simple, steel's got you. If you're building a show-quality bay or you just want the nicer piece, go billet.
Going billet? You get to match them to your bay, because they come in two anodized finishes:
- Clear anodized. That raw, machined aluminum look with a clean satin finish. It pops against a painted or tucked bay and shows off the machining.
- Black anodized. Blacked-out and subtle. Perfect if you're running a murdered-out theme or you'd rather the mounts disappear into the bay instead of standing out.
Built To Hold Up
Innovative doesn't skimp here. The kit uses their no-tear bushings to cut vibration and take abuse, and it's CAD/CAM designed and stress analyzed, so it fits right and handles what a swapped B-series throws at it. All the hardware you need comes in the box, so you're not making a parts-store run halfway through your swap. And it's backed by Innovative's lifetime warranty, which is real confidence in a part working this hard.
Important: Cable Transmission Only
One thing to nail down before you order. This kit is for a B-series with a cable transmission, that's the setup it's built around. If you're running a hydraulic B-series trans, this isn't your kit, so double-check which trans is going in before you buy. Get that right and the rest is easy.
