a B series engine would harldy get the Accord moving down the road.. with around 100 ft lbs of torque.. its not an option.

What you may have heard is its a tight fit... which it is. I have helped do a couple h22a swaps and one we used the Prelude tranny and it was kinda tough to wiggle the engine into its mount.. you definatly have to go at an angle (tranny in first). The second swap i helped with he used the original F22 tranny and it wiggles in a little easier.
