Default Engine Weights

i was just doing some wondering lately as I do frequently. everyone says that swapping in an H22A into a civic always creates a lot of understeer due to the extra forward position mass added to the car. my question is, what are the weights of the H22 verses a B16 of B18C? Is an H series motor really that much heavier? secondly, is their anyway to counter act this? could I move the battery to the trunk and get a higher spring rate in the front to support the extra weight? and would these solutions return a stock handling feel? any thoughts would be appreciated. thanks guys!
