Default A different kind of Honda engine swap??

Hello folks a different kind of hybrid question. I have a 2003 Honda CR-V that was rear ended. What I would like to do is take the whole engine/transmission/axle/suspension assembly and use it as the rear of a trike. What I need to know is can I bypass any of the security options, or do I need everything connected to the computer such as: the top of the steering column with key, the radio, etc etc. Anyone have a clue?


Thanks for reading

I would just get a Kpro, then you don't have to worry about any of that.

I'm sorry... I forgot the most important part, I want to use the front end as the engine/trans-axle of a trike...

The engine I wish to use is a 2.4L FI DOHC 4cyl from a 2003 CR-V. Will this engine work with a Kpro and what IS a Kpro exactly? Sorry, I am a total noob when it comes to the computers in cars.
