are you serious??? ive had a single cam hatch, a gsr hatch, and a h22a hatch all 92 cx's and im sorry buddy the single cam vtecs and gsr anything stock for stock dont have a snowballs chance in hell of "riding out" on a h22
and the weight diffrence... research some of jake's (cold beer) posts on the diffrence between a h22 and a gsr... you will in fact find out the "big" weight diffrence actually is extreamly minamal
also the reason the car likes to "plow alot" is due to a untuned suspension
if i had to do a swap and didnt want to spend 7 thou on a k20 id jump on another h22 in my opinion the easiest way to be fast if your looking at staying all motor... there are a handful of companies offering alot of h22 allmotor parts. just build a nice head and stick it on the h22 and you will be looking at low 13s high 12s all day vs. 14s with most stock gsrs and 15 16 17 with single cams
if your scared of the mount kits and the rumors of how bad they steer and how bad the axles are and blah blah blah ive had my h22 in the car for 3 years, and i drive it every day
