I dont want to know whether or not the conversion is a bad idea or not. I just want to know what is involved with doing a H22 conversion on a 1998 Civic Hatchback. Those that have seen pictures of my car will know that it is not an everyday driver and I am not concerned with handling issues. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Actually, let me correct myself. I didn't see what year your car was. You shouldn't need to chop the frame at all; just the mounts and axles should be the only parts you need (besides the wiring and ****).
I wanted to do a h22 swap on my 96 civic but I love Ac and p/s but then again my car isnt really for racing its for show, but im thinking of doing the h22 in my ls im thinking bout getting.
H22 is bad ass in an integra. my buddy has one in his GSR, and it looks like it was supposed to be there, unlike in a civic, where it sits too far forward and at a funny angle.

yea it would be really bad in a civic or integra but is all the work really worth it? i think it would be better to go with a b-series swap and spend the extra time on that motor, but you werent asking for our opinions. it would take alot of work but i did hear through the grapevine that hasport is coming out with a mount kit for a H22 in a civic so that would solve on problem, but you would still have to find axles to fit
