I have a 94 accord with a F22b and everyone trys to get me to put the H22 to in it. but i will come to that crossroad when i blow the motor. hope that helps some

 

As far as I know, yes, your motor will swap. I know that honda accords and preludes between 91-97 have pretty similar engine compartment size and setup. You will probably need to move around tranny mounts and get a different ecu/wiring harness, but the swap should be possible. I would hook up with someone thats done the swap before. You dont want to attempt one alone unless you have the equipment and a knowledgeable helper. Good luck! The H22 is a great motor though. Definitely check into that if its an option for you. Its probably the MOST common swap for accords and most desired motor in the preludes.

 

you are not going to want the earlier prelude motors. those motors require a different way of mounting. they have what some call a "gangster lean" because of the pitch of the engine. the h22 is a great motor to swap in.
