Default f23a1 into 94 integra?

I did a swap and have a possible buyer for my old engine, an f23a1 out of a 99 accord lx. Prospective buyer has a 94 integra ls, but since he is a co-worker, I am hesitant to sell it to him until I find out if they are compatible. Anybody know?

It swaps in like an H22A, but it is a huge waste of money.

i spose it copuld be considered a waste, except the motor int the integra is about spent. My question was and I'll state it again, is it doable? If it is like an h22, then I gather the answer is yes.

No, it's a waste because that's an engine that makes little power for it's size, and will cost 2-3 times more to use then your friend just buying a replacement B18B. It requires custom mounts, axles, a complete replacement and fabrication of a shifter assembly, an F series engine, trans, and ECU, exhaust modification... it's a royal pain in the ass.

Good torque in those F23 motors, though. Much more than any stock Integra motor. Horsepower is only +10 over an RS/LS/GS motor, however. Swap would be a bitch, and for the effort required, just do H22 swap unless the F23 is like $200 or something.
