Default new engine???

ok i have a 1990 honda accord (my first car) and it died on me (so i bought an 04 civic; stay loyal to honda ) but i was thinking about replacing the engine in it anyway so i wasn't completly heartbroken. i want more power. (of course i am planning to take it to the shop to find out exactly what the problem with it is before it get a new engine) but on to my delimma. i am considering the h22a (increase in power and relatively easy swap, they are about the same size) but i was wondering if there is a better option. Any suggestions?

the h22 is a great engine to swap to. the car will be much faster than you think and will be a blast to drive.

as for the car, what condition is the body in? is it worth it to actually keep it? if so go ahead and swap it

H22A is a great option for the 4th gen Accords.

If you're really motivated and have the cash to spend, HASport now makes motormounts for K-Series swaps into your car as well.

the car is in great condition, if you dont consider the fact that it wont start. just needs some tlc. but luckily i am very creative when it comes to my cars. so i think the only problem i should have is knowing when to stop.
