H22 in to an 86... What all do i need to get/do?
 

I had an 87 si and i really loved that car, unfortunately i had to sale it. I found an 86 the other day needing a head, the body is really straight. the guy wants $400. If i was to get this, can i swap an H22 rather than a B18, and does anyone know what i may need.

an 86 needs alot of work to get a h22 in it... in fact i dont know if they even make mounts for the thing, i would get a rex or a civic from a later year, there are alot of people trying to get rid of shells for the same prices

its been done, but the h22 is a pretty tall engine.

there was even photo evidence of it, it was a first gen crx, greyish in color, h23 block with an h22 head.

it looked like the guy did quite a bit of fabrication to make it work.

if you really want an H you could find a 88-91 standard or dx hatch for dirt cheap with a clean body and at least have mounts and axles to buy aftermarket...

If you read, he had an 87 and found an 86. Nowhere does it say he has an 86. Take your own advice before you criticize others.

I will agree on the fact that the 88-91 body style would be much easier to swap as well as an abundance of aftermarket help. I tried to find any info on an H22 in a 86 but couldn't find anything.

Good luck with your search. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

i seen one on http://www.redpepperacing.com it was a while back but if you want some good 1g rex information that is the place to go a lot of good stuff and knowledgeable people.
