im not sure on the techs, but i know the h22a will go into it, have to have a mount kit, hasport seems to be the big winner around here, and you will have to convert the wiring harness too, but ask KJ, him and TK are goin to handle my swap

prelude into a crx is tough, real tough. The problem is that the motor is simply really big for the engine bay. No one makes a bolt in kit, I believe place racing makes a weld in kit. I'd personally do one into my own crx if I didn't hate working on prelude motors so much, and it wasn't going to be a daily driver. I'd suggest against doing that swap if you have not done it before.

thanks...well there is alwayz a first for everything...plus it's an old car...lota free time...and a cheap engine...that we are getting off a friends junked car....how bout the tranny.hmmmm..thanks for the help!!

Tranny is cable shifted. You'd need to cut some holes in the florr board and figure out a way to mount it.

what kind of engine does a 89 prelude have? i heard it is a crap engine and isn't worth puttin into a crx..

KJ

It is a b20a motor. Not a good motor a good running ls would be better. The b20a is kind of an odd ball engine and it doesn't mount well into crx's. I thought you were referring to an h22a motor.
