Default Engine swap question???

Does anyone know or heard of a swap coming from the acura TSX into the 97 prelude?? Is it possible or will it even fit without banging out the wheel wells!? Thanks

this is basically the same as an rsx swap.. it doesnt work because the engine spins in an opposite direction...

its possible, but in no way feasible
