still waiting on motor mounting bracket from acura went ahead and did most of the wiring and hooking up fuel lines, vacuum lines, grounds, and a plug on the ecu put in the battery tray and hooked up batter when i tried to crank the motor it went really bad not sure what exactly happened but i think the tranny was in gear(not sure since i didnt hook up the linkage yet) and the starter solenoid got stuck and burnt the power wire from the starter to the batter post(by the way is the power wire supposed to be run that way or is it straight from the fuse panel inside the car to the batter?) also had to hammer in the subframe on the side next to the alternator so the pulley would clear(this is alot of fun when the motor is in the car) so for now i am giving it a brake because i am really frustrated and before i destroy something i need to chill any advice would be helpful im trying to do this basically by myself so advice please?????

as far as the hammering goes you should have read that in your initial research and done it before the motor went in. EVERY b-series swap requires this modification. as for the starter wire the poer side should run into the fuse box in the engine bay around the paas. side strut. there are two slots in it for the starter wire and the batt wire
