Default Traction bar is needed?

Hi I'm actually trying to swap a H22 motor and tranny into a 91 civic, but i know there is a company that make the mounts that do so, but there are many kits that are made possible to do so. There is a company that sell a custom kit it is $800.00 it come with the following :EF 88-91 Civic/Crx H22A Motor Mount Kit complete kit includes:
(1) Driver side motor mount
(1) Rear engine mount
(1) Rear chassis mount
(1) Weld in or bolt in passenger side chassis mount, prefer weld in.
(1) Passenger side motor mount
(1) Alternator upper bracket and bolts
(1) Tensioner bracket for upper (your choice of bracket for either H series or D series alternator). Pictured below.
(1) Clutch cable/hydro conversion lever system (pictued below)
(1) Passenger side chassis new hole template only for 90-93 DA H22A motor mount kit
The company website is ( http://explicitspeedperformance.net/ESPEFHF.html )
The question is there is a traction bar that come with the kit. Do I really need the traction bar i -order to make the swap possible, Or can I go without the traction bar and not spend the 800 and just pay the $350.00 from passwordJDM.com.
I do need some mad assistance in order to make this happen.


Also I'm looking for a h22 and tranny willing to spend 1000 on the everything and that is running really good so If you can PM me.

for a 1000.00 being a budget your best bet i would say is save your money up a little more and do it correctly 1 time and not have to do this several times. 1000.00 being your budget i don't believe you will be able to do it all.. my friend did a h22 swap in his crx made his own custom alternator bracket and used the stock traction bar but lowered it he used the innovative mounts. him already having the h22 helped his budget and he still spent well up to 700.00 on mounts and everything that was needed.... maybe search the Marketplace or ebay for used set of mounts and a budget motor and trany... make sure you get a good geared trany and make sure the h22 isant a SH version

the h series exhaust isnt gonna clear the stock crossmember. youll also ned that extra room for moving the radiator. i sold my h22a4 before installing it into my 90 dx. wayy too much money for the h2b plate adapter. the h series transmissions will require alot more work to fit in (cutting the frame, running shifter cables..)
