RX? Do you mean CR-X? People call them "rex" all day, but I've not seen "rx" yet.

I'd say harder and more complicated in a CR-X than in a Del Sol. Completely different engine bays, Cr-X has less room to work with, front cross member, etc.

If I had to choose between either I'd go Del Sol.

If I personally was doing a K swap though it'd be in a 92-95 hatch rather than a Del Sol just because I'm not a big fan of Del Sols. My mom's got one and it just doesn't feel as solid as any of my hatches have.

I was thinking at first he was saying RSX, but that didn't make any sense. DEFINITELY harder to do in a CRX, lots more crap that needs to be modified.

i think it would be alot harder to put a k in a crx cuz a b series barley fits , when i have seen k series in a rex they have to cut out half the hood for the itbs or the intake manifold to clear
