I haven't seen it done, but I know it is not easy.This swap is no slouch. It will require the aid of a mounting kit (try HCP, HASport, or Place Racing), which is not cheap (often like $500!), but you may still need more modifications to make it fit, like relocating some small components or even clearing the engine bay and refitting accessories around the engine when done. You may even need to modify cross members, reweld the mounts into new locations, etc.

Good luck mano.

This has become a common swap and can be done with no cutting or welding. You do need to buy a motor mount kit and there are some wiring mods that need to be done. Most everything you need you can get from HASport , check out there site you can even keep your AC.

Talking B16a In A CRX

Hello all,

I droped a b16 in my crx for 3 grand. That include labor and parts. A place called speed garage droped it in for me. They did a decent job. If I had a turbo in there I might have been able to smoke mustangs.
If you want to see my old car visit
http://www.graphxtrend.com/crx
I just picked up a '91 si for cheap and i'm planing on puting a b18c in there this time.

I don't think that the unpainted bodykit looks bad. I kinda like it.
