I am doing a Si/ZC swap. Motor mounts will need to be grafted into the 1G. Fuel lines, computer, wiring harness. Subframe and engine bay cutting. here is the link to some other swaps:

From what I read, go with the 88-91 motors/transmissions if you're on somewhat of a budget. That way you can re-use your original axles. You'll need to do lots of fab work to get the mounts in there, and some clearancing of the engine bay.

my mistake its not carbed, but if you go with the later 88-91 D16 engine its more HP, check out a crx discus site

By jms (68.109.209.146) on Monday, September 13, 2004 - 08:52 pm:

no go on the prelude engine, just ask Justin-its too big and not worth it when you can do the easier d16 style. Yes on the SI motor, but its carbed, easy wiring though I guess, hope you are prepared for A LOT of work though
