    The guys who run the b series use the crv transmission and not a b to d plate. But on the other hand , I've seen H22 swap to the b series crv transmission ina crv soo it could be done. It's going to be a snug fit though.

    There's no reason that an H2D wouldn't fit the chassis any more or less than if it were a regular H2D into any other EF. In fact, there's a very real possibility that it'd fit under the Wagon hood much better than it does under the hatch/CRX hood, since the Wagon hood sits higher.

    I also don't think you'd need to worry about transmission parts as long as you're not stupid about how you drive it. I was making at least 200whp and probably 170ft/lbs or more of torque with my M62 blown D series and the only time I broke anything was when I went nuts with 1st gear and got heavy wheel hop. That took out the transfer case, and I was 100% of the power/drive going to the back wheels. You might have to futz about with the intermediate shaft setup a little to get it to clear the adapter plate, as I'm sure the plate was not designed with the RT4WD transmission in mind, but I'm 99% sure it's do-able.

    It's going to be a tight fit. You gotta bang in the frame A LOT to get the h22 to fit as it is.
    Good luck and keep us posted

    I had an H22 in my EF Hatch. You also have to cut part of your head light bracket for the alternator. I got a half radiator, got a innovative cross member (so I didn't have to cut mine), which also made a perfect fit for my new radiator. But yeah, a pretty tight fit. The intake manifold almost touched the fire wall. You also need to cut parts of your frame out and reweld, or beat them in.
    Also, you have to put the radiator fan on the outside because it will not fit. I even used a slimline fan.
