not bad, not worse than the same motor in the integra, but no where near the space of a 92+

will fit depending on motor mount kit, if you use hasport it tends to hit the hood bad and hit lower control arms (not that bad), If you use hcp mounts, hood clears but hit control arms really bad. both will hit radius arms, but you can use 90-92 accord radius arms, they have a slopy bend to them. have to re drill holes but works very nice, did it to my 90 rex with my ls/vtec.

hmmm.... what generation HCP kit do you have? i have done both a B18a(b), and a B16a into my CRX, and i havn't had any problems with it hitting anything. Clears the hood fine, and and i have never had a problem with the radius rods.
