I understand the process of putting an H-series engine into an 88-91 Civic/CR-X chassis, and I understand the weight difference (I believe I told him to research it and see whether or not the hassle of the swap and extra weight is worth the power gains).
And yes, I agree that a built B-series can easily outrun a stock H22. I'm just saying that completely stock, an H-series equipped car will probably outrun an LS or B16 swapped car. That extra weight over the front wheels isn't necessarily a total hindrance; it can actually help with traction. I guess the purpose of the car should be considered here. Is it going to be a daily driver that needs to handle well, or is it just going to be a drag strip track whore?
Also, something that never seems to get mentioned is the fact that B-series swaps add some weight as well. It's not as much as the H22 obviously, but there is a weight gain when you go to anything besides another D-series. Overall, the H22 only adds about 100 lbs over the original engine...
