Default Front wheels locked after b16 swap HELP PLEASE!!!!

OK, I swapped a first gen b16 into my 88 CRX si last week, and i can get her started, but she wont move too well... for some reason, the front wheels are locked up. I drained the fluid and they still dont move. I know the brakes are locking up, because i released the E-brake and was able to sping the rear wheels freely. when i try driving it, i release the clutch slowly, and it feels like the engines straining, and it only moves a few inches. i give it more power, but it just feels like im burning the clutch up. Could there be a problem with my transmission?
HELP guys! thanks

Did you remove the dust seals from the inside of the hub? Sounds to me like you didn't and that would cause the front to lock up.
