hasport makes a kit to mount the k24 into a prelude. from there i would imagine you would need everything to make it a proper 6 speed also.

Huge PITA........
Is it really worth it? You're the judge of that......
What I see(I am a REALIST) is lots of money and hard work for a setup that MAY work after tons of headaches and custom parts to be made.
As we all know, anything is possible with money.
Good Luck!
Personally I say find a nice 4th gen and go from there.......

but 4th gens are ugly.

Get a 2G and have fun with the A motor thats in it.

I also guarantee that the hood will not close with a K motor.

i really love the 2g, but the lude i am prob. gonna buy, the motor is shot, and i don't have a clue as to how or were to get parts for it. the head gasket, iac valve, and themostat are shot. just an idea i had b/c i have a chance to basically steal a really nice 2g lude.

i just want to make it a clean, oldschool whip, with a nice new heart. I am just wondering about the wireing(obd0-to the new)? i think i can make some nice axles work well, and things like that...i just suck at wireing.

The wiring is pretty much a ground up job if its a carb car. If its an EFI car its really not that bad. And axles you'll just want to get measurements and call DSS or Raxles and get them made. Marty at Raxles has been great to us 3G H22 guys, so I'm sure he'd be happy to help you.

But really, just get some parts for the 2G and rock it stock. There are plenty in the junkyard and plenty more parts on other boards like prelude power.
