It is able to properly seat the H22 which was designed to be in his car, if that were in my car, my weight transfer would be thrown all off and that motor would reak havik on my front end.

No I did not agree with you...
I don't know what you mean "reak havoc on the front end"...
It won't... it will reak havoc on tires... and axels... but it won't actively DO anything to your front end...
As stated by slowej6... it's more than possible and FINE in most cases... most find that simply buying integra rate front springs instead of civic springs is MORE than enough to compensate for the weight...
The only problems I point out are it's a hassle... it's not a drop in deal like a bseries... and it leaves you stuck with an h22 forever... (I'm sure you could weld on a new tranny mount ear.
There are LOTS of front heavy cars that handle fine... it's all a matter of tuning your suspension for it...
If you have coil overs and just make the rear sit MINUTELY lower than the front it will probobly return the weight distibution to at least that of a b-swapped civic... put your battery in the trunk... get a cf hood and it's same as stock...
the weight is not that much different then a B... maybe 75 lbs..
As far as k20...
Do they even make a mount kit for that into a 92-95 civic... I thought that that was for 2001+ only w/o custom install?
