B16 Engine Arrives

I ordered my engine swap through Street N Track Autosports (SNT), which is a local company.  Chris runs the place and is very knowledgeable about all things Honda, and preps many CRXs for wheel to wheel action. 

Everything was secured to the pallet with wire.  Nothing was coming off with a wire being cut first. 

The engine came with everything.  The PS and AC pumps were still attached (since removed).  Any harness cutting was done on the other side so that I got the entire harness unscathed. 

The only issue I did have was that one of the axle boots was ripped.  There is $150 I wasn't planning on spending.   (Crap!!)

After removing the AC, front mount, and power steering the engine looks a little smaller and less complex.  I found that the PS pulley on the crank doesn't need to be removed. 

The engine appears to have a transmission cooler pump where the speedometer cable goes in.  I found out later in a Acura service manual that this is just for the speed sensitive power steering. Nothing to worry about.
