so im looking for as much info on doing a d16y8 swap out of a 2000 civic in to an 87 crx si. i have the engine and trans out of the 2000 civic already. from looking at the crx i know the mounts will have to be fabbed up. thats not an issue as i have fab skills. can i get obdo jumper harness to make everything work or do i have to gut all the wiring out of the civic to get it done. am i goin to have to change the front knuckles out to the civic knuckles? . ect. .  any in for would be great. plans for the car will be a turbo vitara build.

Keep your CRX  knuckles and replace the hubs with 91 Civic Si equivalent hubs and replace the bearings (The bearings are the same) Some people say need to check clearance between the knuckle and hub, some say nothing needed done.
