yea crazy custom. I have no idea if this would work but... could you run an H2B conversion then run the AWD tranny from the B20 powered CRV?

Have you ever thought about it?

If you had, you would have come to the conclusion that they are 2 totally different cars, so common sense will tell you it will not fit. If you have skills and are able to custom fabricate things then that is another story......but I think we all know that this will never happen though.

Hey brandon, do you think that an engine from a boeing 747 jet will fit my prelude??

The only part I was worried about was mounting the wings......I don't think the trunk is strong enough

Yes, matt I believe that is a bolt-on affair if you wire the VTakk to the jet engine's ignition control

What might work a little better would be the AllTrac system from a late 80's Camry. But I doubt you could get it to work without swapping in the 3SFE or 5SFE motor

the h2b kit uses b series mounts for fitment in a b series car. I mean you can use a driver side motor mount to make the h22 fit right. but I am not sure what mounts to use for the rear and passenger.

Also the b series tranny uses shaft shift linkage. so you would have to cut a hole in the floor and come up with some wild mounting.

Axles wouldnt fit since they are for a b series tranny in a b series car.

come on blake you know you want to post here

but, putting an h2b in a prelude is a ridiculous idea. The h2b kits make the h22 sit in a b series configuration, which is more upright, ours lean toward the firewall a good bit in stock form.

So if you used stock mounts and a trans adapter plate, the b series differential would be hanging hella low, and your car would have to be slammed for the axle angles to be anywhere near right. Then you have custom axles to worry about, on top of that, I highly doubt that the exhaust hump on our cars would come out near the linkage connections on the B trans....

wow that was pretty retarded...
a better question is if the realtime 4WD from a Vti accord could fit,
but the extra weight would really suck

lots off facbrication can make it fit, and if you suck at fabbing it going to be alot of money... well its going to be alot of money anyway.
