welcome to the board

check out hasport.com for mount kits and review their installation instructions for a good preview of whats ahead of you

all wheel drive = pain in the balls and not worth it
the 88-91 wagovans had 4wd but only 10% of the power went to the rear wheels, CRV's have a limited slip type system that needs modifying to make an all time 50-50 power split...

i think the 1500 was not multi point fuel injection was it?
you may want to upgrade to a newer chassis unless you LOVE your car and it is 100% rust free
