Default 92-95 engine swap

I am looking at getting a 92-95 hb and swapping as much from my crx into the hb as I can ( need room for a growing family). the crx currintly has a b16 turbo with obd1 upgrade, hondata, p28 ecu. I want to know what is needed to drop a b16 into the hb. if I have caught the right info the oe motor mounts are used and the shift linkage as well. the tranny is a cable a1, is the hb a hydro setup or can I keep the cable tranny? what axles would I use? what models came with what as far as power windows and locks/ rear disc/ ac/ etc. or a link to this info.

With any luck I'll get a new job I am applying for and that'll give me the money that I can sleeve the b16 block that I have in my garage right now and build it to be bullet proof then just get a y1 tranny with an lsd, stage 3 or 4 clutch and some 500hp axles.

any help and info on the world of hb's is appreciated.

with all the gizmos I put in my car having 2 cars with all that stuff would be hell, plus since I am doing this to accomodate a family I wouldn't be able to afford 2 cars just for me ( with insurance) and a kid. so I need something with a back seat, but I can still mod and it looks right. sorry but a 4dr is not a sporty looking car.

don't get me wrong I have seen some hot looking 4dr's but you can do half as much on a 2dr and it looks better, just my opinion.

I want the 92-95 with all the power options ( so that I don't have to install an aftermarket window and lock kit). also since the hb is obd 1 I can use my p28 hondata ecu thats currently in the crx. the b16 with turbo will swap over(with all the gauges). I have a viper 791xv ready to go in. I would swap over 2 of the amps, cap, and the wiring; leave the headunit in and the 6" speakers. I would take the money from selling the crx to get new speakers and headunit in the hb. that plus a double layer of tint like I have now and I'd be at about the same place I am now with the crx. plus since getting the crx I have found some parts are a bitch to get for it but are readily avail for the hb.

and with 1 car to trick out I can put all my extra cash in it for a sweet ride.

jdm rear seat, with a car seat for a new born?????? my wife would not give it up again EVER if I pulled that shit. plus when the kid gets older and out of a child seat, have you seen the leg room? or lack thereof? I need something that the wife, kid and I can ride in, but when it's just me I can punch it and waste a vette.
I am also downsizing my audio ( strictly from a volume perspective) as I really don't need as much bass as I have now, in that small of a car. I will though add a video system in the dash and headrest.

Doesn't hasport make motor mounts for a bseries to 92-95 hatch, they're oe placement but with urethane and of course hasports shiny metal if I am correct.

now what mounts would I use to put the stock hb motor into the crx? I'll need a running car to sell.

bad news: no 92-95 hatch came with power windows or locks.

your best bet for full power options would be a ex coupe, or swap all the electronics from a 92-95 ex coupe into a 92-95 hatch.
