H22a swap. NOW.

The Prelude engine block is so much better than the block you have in now, regardless of "special edition"

Is it a manual?

Well, an engine swap is like a heart transplant...and given the high mileage on his Accord...it's recommended.

Not only do I recommend an engine swap, but while it's out you could look at other things as well. Larger radiator, maybe some engine dress up, and don't just stay with the stock H22A, put some money into that bad boy. Even staying N/A you can push it to 300hp

How fast are you looking to go? And how much you looking to spend? I think the ENG.swap is the best , I just got a few pointers for My project so I can share it I am using the 98-02 4dr.platform thou soplan carefully so that you minimize spending and get results.
