So I'm having a heck of a time finding a CRX HF within a reasonable distance to me and the ones that I have found everyone wants $6,000 or more which is insane so here's my new plan.
1) find a CRX with a blown motor preferably under $1,000
2) Buy a CRX HF trans and a D16Y5. I have found both of these readily available online WITH warranties. I could have the pair shipped to my house for under $2,000
3) Purchase the wiring harness and ECU $?
Does all this sound as easy as it seems? Will I run into any mounting issues where I would need custom fabrication or additional mounting brackets? I have swapped many motors but most were all small block chevys, this will only be my 2nd honda swap. If all goes well I should have a CRX at 60mpg's with zero miles on the motor and trans which will be under a one year warranty for around $4,000.
