Default What poblems would there be with an h22 in a crx?

Ive heard that i would have axle problems because of the torgue if i dropped a prelude h22 engine in my crx. Is that true? Are there any other problems that i would come across with an h22?

it would take custom axles, a lot of space making in the engine compartment, a lot of rewiring, either a different tranny, or the entire hydrolic setup (since the crx is a cable setup, not hydrolic) very stiff front suspension, most likely a lifted hood, since the crx is indented on the top, a new ecu for the h22, and a lot of money, time, and patience. what are you planning on doing with this crx? drag? autocross? road race? or something else? depending on what you are doing, you may have to add more weight around the whole of the car to stop the front from driving on the ground.

what problems you mean beside the fact that turning would be almost embarrasing?
