Default EF AWD drive axle question

Hey there. I've been poking around and haven't found this particular answer. I have a 89ef that's getting a TSX motor with an 04 crv trans for an AWD conversion.

I'm trying to figure out what front axles, knuckles, shocks, brakes will work? I haven't started the project yet but will soon. It would be great I guess if the ef knuckles fit an axle set but that seems too serendipitous to just fit together.

Anywho, everyone seems to focus on the rear end or the trans but I can't find much info about the front end!!?

Thanks in advance and sorry if I missed something on this forum that's already been answered.

Cole

I don't know for sure, but I have heard that RSX base axles work for K-swapped EF civics. assuming that's good info I would guess the CR-V inner half shaft will be required since it's going to be specific to the PTO for the prop shaft. then RSX axles on that.

Thanks for the reply...I was chatting with a friend yesterday and we were hypothesizing about this....thoughts were:

TSX or RSX driver side, CRV/ RSX/ ACCORD pass side?

but, not sure about the knuckles/ suspension...that should be interesting
