Re: Crazy Swap... (Scoo7er)
Start by figuring out how it will fit...
The H22 is a tight fit as is... ive seen an F22 which is mounted the same way as your 4.6L mustang engine would be, but even then it was super tight in the bay... Where will you mount the transmission for that engine?
There was a guy that put an LS into a prelude (I think... maybe it was another kind of car), look up that thread... youll also see how much fab he had to do to get it to work.
Honestly this is a huge project, if you have no idea where to start at all other than knowing you want to dump that engine into your crx, maybe this isnt the project for you. Not saying that to be mean or try and discourage you, but seriously there is a lot of fab and engineering involved in something like this.

you may be able to get some ideas and/or advice from this guy. not saying you have to do it the same way this guy does. but no matter what its gonna take a shitload of fabrication. hopefully you have alot of money/ experience/ time/ tools.
if theres a will theres a way though. so if you got the above ^^^^^^^^^^^^
then go for it.
