Alot of fabrication, I was going to do this. I had the full swap chillen in the garage and was about to start then I realized what a pain it would be. Custom mounts, custom linkages, custom axels. YOu have to cut the front radiator support out to get the engine in then reweld it back on once the motor is in.

Check honda tech for more info a guy did the h22 in his crx. Install was crazy. Definatley not a drop in B-Series..

Not sure, never looked into the swap.

But you allso need to modify the crossmember and the firewall Needs to be dented, not pushed back.

I have done a 92 H23 in a 95 Civic Coupe. Its not to bad. There are alot of companies that sell mounts for a H series swap..I have always owned B series so i have never really looked for H series mounts for a EF.. So what mounts do you use for the swap?
