I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

1st youll need to pull the motor then get a 10lb sledge hammer to pound int he driver side lower fender well.. due to the alt hitting.. once u fight with that and get it bent it.. you cant cut it out due to the structurell support for the front end. go on ebay and get hasport
88-91 h22a mounts there around 300 bucks and your shifr linkages will need mod. you cnat use the prelude linkageds due to the lenght but u can use half and half.. half civic and half lude.. thats all i know.. and for wiring goes. i an't got a dam clue on what tha requires.. i got a h22a swap comming up soon in a EG hatch but when i do that i can give u some pointers.. good luck...

You do realize that this swap will make your EF an all-drag, understeering, noseheavy pig, right?

It will require loads more effort than a B swap and won't necessarily be any faster. A B with the same amount of $$ into it will run circles around an H22 swap. Hell, at the local dragstrip I've beaten several H22 swapped Hondas with my lil old B16A CRX!

Not meaning to flame I just want you to realize what you're getting yourself into.
