Default Will a k20a type-r motor fit in my 97' hatch

I am thinking about buying a rsx-r motor and trying to get it in my 97' hatch. Does anyone have an insite or suggestions about if this setup will work or where I could get it installed

Talk to Pacman on this board.

And it'll cost probably a pretty penny.

It's not like swapping in a b series motor. Don't come back and say h-t didn't warn you.....

the rsx-r engine and transmission are on the other side, the intake is at the front of the car and the exhaust close to the firewall.

so you would need new engine mounts/tranny mounts, placed everything elswhere in the engine bay, it's $$$$ cause it takes a lot of time and custom making.
