F20B EK 3 Point Strut Clearance Help
Hey HTer's,
an f20b engine is being prepped for installation into my car (2000 Acura EL - same as Ek sedan) and I have a PWJDM 3 point strut that is in the mail. Has anyone tried running a 3 point strut on an f20b swapped EK civic? My concern is clearance for the intake manifold. I have been told a 2 point will fit with no issues, but haven't been able to find anyone who runs a 3 point strut (maybe that is the answer in its self).
In any case, if someone has knowledge or experience on this I'd greatly appreciate the insight.
Thank you all for your time and help.

In any case, I'm just hungry for info because most reply to my questions about the f20b with, "just do an h22 swap and call it a day". Unfortunately, I'm probably going to have to do the work without any guarantee that it will clear my intake manifold.

Dumb. You can conduct the experiment yourself. If you're scared of scratching anything up the you can tape it up heavily. I guess problem solving skills really are a thing of the past. Easier to ask instead of doing it yourself and say you were just trying to save yourself some "work".
