    Question quick swap question

    my accord got totaled, and with the money i get from insurance, i'm getting a 90 crx hf. but its got a blown motor, so i see this as a chance to swap the A20 into it and continue my plans for this motor. my question is, will the mounts in the crx work for the A20 and accord trans? i've got the money for custom mounts if need be. i'm just curious. any input is appreciated

    I've seen it done. You need to make custom mounts for it tough.

    you would def need new mounts made; but i like the idea. more original than everyones "just throw a b-series in it'' take on things.

    i'm going to wait for the A20 crx, the accord isn't totaled, just needs some suspension work. i'm keeping the A20 in the accord and i'm goin low and slow untill i have the cash to fully build the motor, and after running it in the accord for a while, i might put a B18B or something in the accord n go back to low and slow and put the built A20 in a crx or EF hatch.
