Well I own an '00 F23A Vtec Accord since new, and we own a K24 TSX...and one of my 2 best buds from college owns an H22 '00 Lude for as long as I've had my Accord.

The H22 is no clunker, it hangs very-very well with the K24 TSX in fact the TSX can't out run the Lude, it's been tried. The H22 Vtec kick is a sh1t load more fun then the K24 kick or should I say, K2--what kick? They (Honda) smoothed the Vtec out so well you just hear a small change up top but you don't feel a kick anymore. Not that I dislike the K24, the H22 was just so much fun.

The H22 in the Prelude was (is) a damn fine engine, clunker my @$$...many a Civic Si lost a stop light battle to the mighty Lude back in the day.

Now I'm not going to yank my F23 ouf of my Accord, frankly I've never seen one I liked installed in a 6th gen. But I fail so see how the H22 is a clunker. It's got a fairly trick oil system, way better then the B-series setup. GSR, Si, blah-blah...the Prelude was a fine car, a little short on room but a kick butt engine. Too bad that engine never came in the Accord.

But the used market price of Vtec ludes is very affordable now, I'd clearly pick one up before swapping into an Accord. Why hack up a perfectly good wire harness.
