Default 1990 CRX dx to H22

I have a 90 crx dx and i wanted to put a integra ls engine in up until recently when i found out i could get a h22 for really cheap! This is a big engine though and i want to know exactly what i would be getting myself into. I will already have to replace the interoir wire harness because of the daul point fuel injector so i dont want to do too much more work. I just want to know how hard this would be!

if thats your only car than i would suggest not going through due to the large amount of modifications needed for it.

the whole front suspension and everything needs to changed the H22 is too heavy a lower in an EF and u can only drive straight if you dont beef up the front end with alot of supports and a full performance suspension, dont even waste your time with it

thats a myth... it is only less then 100 pounds lighter then a b18.

but i would say that this swap isnt for you, lots of modifications and lots of wiring.
if you can get it for a good deal then get it and sell it on here or ebay, then get a simple swap such as a b16 or so.

Also, a good part of the weight increase over a B-swap is in the H-series transmission. If one of these adaptor plates pans out, weight will be MUCH less of a concern with an H-series motor swap.
