Default H22 in a CRX.

I know this gets asked all the time but I have a few qestions before I buy a motor. First off which mounts would be the best for use. I know the hasmounts make the motor sit high, ESP makes the motor sit low. How does the INNOVATIVE MOUNTS make the motor sit? Also do you necessarly have to use a car lift and lift the motor under the bay? Could I use a cherry pick and lower it in from the top? Thanks for the help and sorry if the qestion is a repeat.

Chris

Our Mount Kit is high as we can get it 1/4-1/2" till hood at highest point of valve cover.

3.5" of ground clearance on a 2" drop is pretty good clearance for any H

Easiest way is what I do... I have no fancy lifts

Put the car on stands all around, Extend the Front Stands up as high as you can and or use a jack on the rear cross member to raise the car for the extra height upon moving engine in...

I tilt the engine and trans sideways and push it under the car and in then, lower jack onto stands then set the engine and trans inline then get the chains and cherry picker and slowly raise it into place... crank pulley on.

Tight squeeze if coming from above... crank pulley off.
