Default project ol school/new school Ludeness

alright guys... after some careful researching and money issues the h22 motor is def goin in my car. Im saving to buy the engine package(Engine, tranny, ecu, axles, wire harness etc...). My dad and I are doing all the work. What else do u guys think i need. I know he told me new struts, engine mounts, springs...but what else? The project will start in 6 weeks and hopefully will be complete before summer. Also i decided on getting Rota Slipstreams 16" on falken azenis....more to come in the future................

A cable shifter assembly from a 90+ Accord or 92+ Prelude, a 92-95 Prelude factory service manual, an 88-91 Prelude factory service manual, figure out some way to get the axles to fit, and a lot of free time.

Could also be a 4th gen. The 92 and 93 were made with very limited production in an electronic 4WS system that they still used in the 5th gens over in europe. If its a 4th gen swap its a piece of cake. A third gen is somewhat more difficult but I can't imagine that it would be anymore difficult than doing a h-series swap into a 5th or 6th gen civic. It is a b series motor coming out of there.

There is plenty of aftermarket support for a late model Civic. There is zero support for an old Prelude.

B series in code, but not B series in design relitive to all the others. Any other B series is far from a "bolt in" affair.
