Default best motor for a 88-91 CRX (Serious street to full race)

so far I've enjoyed the H22a in my Accord. found a CRX, pretty sure it was a 88-91, for $350. the suspention is already set up for drag racing. I was thinking about eather droping in the H22a or a JDM B18. just wanting opinions.

thats cheap if the suspension is already"set up". what kind of stuff is done to it? how good of condition is it in? they make great drag cars, for front drivers at least.

I would start with the JDM b18 and build from there. I get the feeling that the H22 in an ef chasis is a lot of hassle...it sure would be cool though.

it has been done and it involvs a lot of time and money... plus the front end ends up being so heavy you get torque steer from hell... nice for 1/4 mile only...

B20 VTEC in a CRX is very nice.
