Man, I wish I could have gotten to you sooner. Back in the day, we used to use the 86/87 accord trans and 2.0 short block and put the dohc prelude head on and it would pretty much bolt in the stock locations. The big drawback was 'making' a intake since the prelude has an angle to it. BUT the torque was great!
I talked to Adam Malley about the swap decades ago. He use to beat on camaros and mustangs. I think they even swapped the earlier prelude rear brakes for discs all around. Look into grafting the 86-87 prelude rear brake with control arms and center support. It's all there. You just have to fab it in.

Looks great so far!
