Well pick up your Super Street Magazines Friends, and turn to page 234 and take a look at the honda optional equipment question of the month. A guy emailed them about swaping a h22a into his 91 accord Ex and they told him all the wrong stuff like he needed to weld new mounts, and it was hard to install. Wel look what I told them back.....
