For one thing, the seats are awesome and driving position is great. The dash is the only weird thing.

You will be disappointed if you think your car is going to be fast when you swap in an H22 because it won't be...they're simply better bases for modification.
Oh and I was talking about your current car, not a hypothetical car with an engine swap.

Preludes must just hold there value around here in FL. I found a 93 s coupe(ie F22A) prelude locally with major dents and in need of interior work for 4,000, and they wouldnt come off of it either. Most 97+ around here are going for 10,500 and higher. Bottom line power to weight speaks louder than words your accord with an h22a will be faster than any 92+ prelude with the same mods period.

But with full interior, no nirtous, and street tires it still runs a 14.6 and it will keep up with my stock s2k(my s2k will get it by about half a car until about 115 then the s2k starts walking away). Thats better than a type r which should be respectable enough. Good enough to beat most other non-turbo 4cyl. Comparing prelude to prelude Performance-wise, the magazines seemed to give the edge to the 4th gen prelude with 0-60 times of 6.5 to 6.9, 1/4 mile times of 15.0 to 15.3 so i dont know where you all are getting that the 97+ is faster. For the record "ASS CLOWN" (how childish and immature can you get) everyones definition of fast is diffrent. I think a 4 cyl accord that hangs with corvettes is fast but to some people its not fast unless its running 9's in which case very few people have fast cars. Opinions are like ass holes everyone has one and they usually stink (mine included).
