Default ZC Swap Help

Hey so i have a weird problem that i am having a hard time figuring out, I recently bought a 88 Civic from Japan, with no engine in it, Also picked up a 90 Civic USDM with a SOHC ZC engine swapped into it, now when i dropped the SOHC engine into the Japanese car, the axles dont seem to fit, they seem to be about an inch to long, i checked the suspension, and lower control arms are the same length, and everything seems the same, i actually swapped out one side of each car and made sure that both cars had one of each set of suspension. but i still cant seem to get the axle to fit?

any suggestions?

Default ZC troubles

Hey Guys, so I finally got an engine and transmission into the EF, I went with a SOHC ZC with the paired SL3 trany, now I have a bit of a problem, I DO NOT have the intermediate shaft for this transmission, or a set of axles, I was wondering if anyone had a set for sale or knew of what axles i could use to make this work or any information on it. I read up a lot on this online and there seems to be a couple schools of thought on it, just looking to get some good advice or the right parts lol.

Please let me know,

Thanks guys

problem is i dont have the intermediate shaft and no once can apparently order the jdm axles, the ones i tried from the american version is about half an inch to an inch too long, depending on what axle i try.
