People put them in hatches all the time.. probably just needs motor mounts and maybe no AC
I'd do it if youre going all motor

i'd take a gsr, or a Type R motor over a h22 anyday.
and you could use the stock mounts with either of those motors awell.
but not the h22.

True, the H22 is the heaviest motor that can fit in these cars. I'd stick w/ a B18 of some kind and perhaps bore it out. Plus it's a bit cheaper than an H22.

also, the h22 weighs about 40 lbs more than a b16
H = 123lb short block
B = 104lb short block
D = 100lb short block + oil pan
H trans = 96lb
B trans = 90lb
the head is maybe 10 lbs more.

Re: how hard for a h22 to fit into a civic coupe
Well from what I have read and heard..H22 into a CRX handles like shit turning radius sucks. I would go with a B over an H anyday. Oh wait I am going with a B.
