lol... good luck with that... you must be a rich bastard... you are going to either need to custom fabricate an entire transmittion or at least some sort of fancy ass power sucking adapter that will let you use a front wheel tranny... there is a reason the CRX you saw was RWD... CAUSE THE NSX is...

lemme guess... your next project is droping bugattis new W16 Quad Turbo engine into a del sol and converting it to FWD?

why would you do that? just put in a b series, i'm not sure how easy it'd be but it's easier than a V6 thats for sure.

not to mention that a v6 is overkill in a crx IMHO

That is just dumb...
Do u realize how much extra a V6 engine from a legend weighs? Neither do I, but I'm sure it's pretty damn heavy... All that weight in front wouldn;t want to drive that around a corner, lol...
I've heard of H22 swapped civics that have probs, and they only got a 2.2!!
Honda's all about POWER to WEIGHT, and with a torque monster V6, all you would do is spin the tires to hell... WAY too much torque...
Just get a B-series, they are extremely simple to swap in, and have more potential...
