Hey I really need help, I don't have access to a lift and I'm doing an h22 swap into my integra and was wondering if this is possible, cause I'm trying to take my current b18 engine out and itl barely come out from the top, and the h22 is bigger and was wondering if you have to have a lift and lift the engine in from the bottom rather the top, any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

how would u do it without a lift?

 

um.... Very easily.... All u need to do is hook the engine up to chains and pull it out with an engine hoist, tractor, anything that can lift the engine up.... anyways... can somone plz answer my question... thx

 

do it from the bottom if you can get the front of the car high enough. Much easier that way.

 

take off the headers and the intake manifold on the H22 and use the lift to drop it in from the top

 

The H22A engine leans in the wrong direction
Civic/Integra engines have blocks that lean forward while the H22A block leans backwards, towards the firewall. Even though custom fabrication will mount engine, it's still not suitable for this chassis. Fabrication issues
Custom fabrication is required to get the H22 engine to fit. The stock motor mounts have to be removed and new mounts relocated, making this an expensive job. Modern day cars are designed from the ground up as an integrated structure, and this includes the engine. Moving mounts around causes the structural characteristics to change. HAHA

Seriously you should drop it in ,trying to raise the car and bringing it down is way to complicated..lol
