Get the transmission, driveshaft, rear diff, and rear axles. The stock parts should be fine for n/a builds but if you are adding lots of power they aren't made for that. Good news is Honda AWD swaps are kind of taking off and various companies are starting to offer upgrades for this stuff.
FYI there is also a billet H22 AWD bellhousing in development that will accept the B-series transfer case. This may ultimately be the best solution for AWD Preludes because using B-series transmissions requires the engine to lean forward, even with an H2B setup. The overall fit in the engine bay just isn't as good like that, having it lean back a bit like with H-series / stock engine is much better.
Here is an example of the prototype diff mount that was made for the S2k rear diff, however this idea has been scrapped:
The current idea is to only support the CR-V/Element rear diff and develop one mount that will fit on 2WS and 4WS cars. It should look very similar to this.
Currently this project is waiting on one vehicle to leave my property then I will be able to bring up the development car and make further progress on it.
Ok, so this happened just recently.
Thanks to Brian Spiker(TransLab Performance) and Aaron Lopez(driver) but they have been working on the AWD H22 billet bell housing that will allow any H22 owner to transfer their OE guts over and become AWD with the K24 tranfercase.
This changes everything because it eliminates the need for he H2b adapter kit to go AWD.
There is no confirmation on my kit for fitment issues yet but in time that will get worked out.
Check this thing out!!!
Needless to say, the whole game is change now...lol!!!
Ok, so this project took a hit, due to finances and lack of time.
We should be moving the car to the shop that we will be tearing into the car to start mocking up parts.
Wow someone finally made awd for H22 that's awesome. Wish that was around when I did my 3g H swap.
Hey 1funryd this is Dustin aka 91JDMsi from like ten yr ago when I bought the az H22 mounts my lude is up for sale if you know anyone interested 5k call me at 865-599-9346 thanks.
So, I'm thinking of getting radiator out of a 91 for my 88. The rad looks better, looks like bigger fins and like its not flimsy little painted fins. Anyone dealt with both and have an opinion between the two? The 89 one looks like crap to me.
This has done before, but I am going to do a write-up again(sorry Todd).
Well after many years of service the powersteering line that causes fires in our cars , gave out on me.
So, I decided to pull it and do the newer Honda powersteering route.

What are the best replacement gasket brands for these b20 and 21 engines? Mine is beat up and can't find OEM.I specifically need a valves cover gasket right now, and others later I'm sure.
Thanks guys.
So, I cannot find a heated 4 wire O2 sensor from Denso or Ngk anywhere. Any suggestions? Seems like there are lots, except for the 3rd gen ludes. Help?
