1990 Crx Motor Swap

One of my customers has a 1990 Crx and he wants to swap the motor out of his 88 Prelude Si into the CRX. Does anyone know what motor mounts could help make that swap happen. Will the 'Lude mounts work or will he have to go aftermarket?? Any info would be apreciated. OO and its a 90 DX CRX.

I dunno bout it clearing or not. Were just throwing idea's around since his CRX body is great but the motor is pretty much dead and hes got the Lude motor just laying around. I think were going to just try and rig it into the CRX this weekend just to see.

is that one of the carbuerated (sp) ones? the prelude motor?

it's clearly going to be cost effective short term, so go for it

So it is, that's why you cannot trust information from just one source . Sooo carb'd OHC 2.0 in 1988-1990 was the B20A3 and the DOHC was the B20A5 and was fuel injected. The things you learn every day..
