WWW.OZ HONDA.COM its a wealth of knowledge for honda fans.

your looking at about $7-10 k for the swap, in and out, certifyed and engineered.

as for which motors will fit, the best swap to do is a b18c (integra) but a h22a (prelude) will also fit but it weighs much more and you have to take that into consideration.

basicaly your looking at this to change:

engine (rebuilt if imported, add $2-5k)
ecu
drive shafts
stub axles to five stud
wiring loom
radiatior
relocation of engine mounts
rear brakes from drum to disk.

this is just a brief idea of what needs to be changed.
