Default c30 in 3g prelude

I just got done putting a c 30 out of an NSX in my 90 model prelude. What a pain in the *** that was. cutting, welding and more cutting, but I made it fit. I had to use a 99 accord 5 speed for the transmission so It would bolt up and have only front wheel drive. My question is where can I find some C.v. axles that will fit and take the abuse of 270 H.P. any suggestions would be helpful

Sorry about my spelling errors, but I am typing with one hand because I broke my other one working on my car.

No I don't have any pics yet but I will as soon as I get it painted. Because some of the car is primer gray due to me haveing to lenghthen the engine compartment to fit the c 30 in. Hopefully I will be driveing it soon all I need are the axles to go between a 99 accord transmission and stock 3g hubs. I don't want to change the hubs because it would dely my prject by about a month due to money and time designing the retro fit. But if I have to I can.

there is no way an accord would bolt up to a C30, the engine spins clockwise and the accord's tranny is made to turn counter clockwise, and the bellhousing are different. I would believe you if you used the c30 tranny but no the Accord's.

I feel intelligent as hell now. All that I read was 270 hp and "I need axles."

The v-6 Accord transmission that I used bolted right up with no problem, even the pilot shaft bearing fit prefectly. Jeremy Dillard, my long time friend and techanal advisor said that they would work together fine. If we made that big of a mistake PLEASE tell me where you got your info so I can study it before finishing my project.

I call B.S. flag...

You may be able to drop the motor in there, somehow I don't know...but if you did, great. Chances of it running properly is next to nill. If everything actually works and runs...and you have proof, I'll send ya $0.50 over PayPal

I know it is hard for you all to belive that I've actually done this but I have and I am not even close to haveing it done and driveable, but I am working on and hope to complete it soon. Any one can do this swap if they can cut, weld, and have the will to make it work whatever it cost. For me so far about $12,000 many nights with no sleep and almost my marrage. I don't recomend this swap to anyone who thinks it will be easy, because it isn't.
