Default couple J-series swap questions

read on a forum if you do a K-series swap in the crv's (1st gen IICR) you can use the EK swap mounts, if this is true, couldnt you use the J-series EK swap mounts?

The reason i ask is im looking at getting a 1st gen crv and swapping in the honda pilot motor, trans and driveline. just to have the awd v6...

also toying with the idea of just doing a H2B swap.

too much work and will always be automatic. not saying it cant be done but its really not worth it due to the lack of a manual awd tranny.

youd also have to rewire 90% of the car.

kswap on the other hand, simple. same as EK and you can use a 2nd gen awd crv tranny to retain awd. its all bolt together, no mods at all.

Yeah I'm good at re wiring, but not 90% of the vehicle. Would the gen2 axles be the correct length? I would think so..
