engine swap

Are there any big problems involved with swapping a F22A1 ('92 Prelude S) engine into a D15B7 ('94 Civic DX) ? Also, I would have to switch ECU's with the prelude's, correct? Also any tips would be helpful. Thanks.

The engine swaps right in just like an H22A.

Without the benifits of swapping in an H22A, that is.

Thanks for the quick reply. I would have to take the ECU from the prelude though, correct? (first time doing this) -- I will have someone more experienced helping out though.

I'm assuming your also aware the engine won't bolt in like a B-series Integra engine will. You'll need custom mounts and you'll also need the F-series tranny along with custom axles (I believe). I'd imagine the ECU plugs would be the same.
