Ur talking about using the rear t bracket off a prelude and the hasport mount correct? I'm gathering parts to drop a straight f23 in my eg. Read I need post mount to block on driver side off f22, the rear t off a 90 accord lx or prelude, the adapter bracket for trans and the conversion mounts. That correct? Do I eliminate the bracket on front of motor completely? Thank you
