87crx engine swap with b20a1/a5
I have aquired an 87 crx and am wishing to do an engine swap. It has the ew1500 cc carburated motor. I have also aquired a mint condition running 88-91 prelude 2.0si. I am not sure of the year or cast number, as it is still at a friends house some distance from here. I am wanting to know if the b20a1/b20a5 will mount in the 3rd gen crxs' without major cutting of the front end. I have checked and found that hasport has motor mounts..and i also am aware that i will have to take the fuel pump, ecu, wiring harness, axles, hubs, and various other parts to convert it to fuel injection. I am curious if there are any websites that have done this swap so i may use an example, or if anyone has done this so that i may give it a shot. I would rather not use the zc integra because everyone does that..i want to be different..and the prelude was free...hee hee. Will the transmission linkage be compatible or will it have to be modified too? Will the prelude rear disk brakes be compatible with the crx, or does the proportioning valve, master cylinder, or brake booster have to be changed? I have access to all the parts i need to swap various things..i would like to know if this has been attempted. My friend runs a junkyard..so the prelude and crx were both free..since i work on his car for him..hehe.Any other swap advice for the prelude to crx would be most welcome and appreciated, as well as other ideas for upgrades in suspension, electrical and other that will not require custom modifications..i want to keep the ouside stock..and make a killer sleeper.
