Default Anyone try picking up engines in their hatches? For example a B18 or H22?

I'd like some details and tips about how to do this. I've done many SOHC in the back of a CRX and it was never a problem, but never my 93 hatch.

Thinking about picking up a B series, or maybe an H series from Osaka. I don't know anyone that owns a truck of some sort for me to borrow. Anyone got any tips or suggestions as to how to carry this this in my hatch?

I don't suggest it, cause it's dangerous, but if you're not driving very far, I've put a motor where the passenger seat goes. It fits, but if you get in an accident, you're screwed.

I've stuffed a B18C long block (sans the transmission) in there but it will make you a lowrider

If its a full swap I recommend taking out the passenger seat and rear seats and you shouldn't have a problem. Lay down some old carpet scraps to keep from beating the hell out of hatch area.

Its ghetto but it should get you home.
