They make engine mount kits to put K-series motors into civics. Civics are much different than Preludes. Noone said that is impossible either, just much better things to with your money. Stick with H22 or H23 swaps, at least until the K-series become cheaper and they make mount kits for them for Preludes.

Okay, so no 6-speed... but how about plugging an S tranny into an SI? Would it just plug right in? I really want better freeway mileage, and the S has longer gearing. I used to drive one, and if the F22a can push that gearing, an H23a will do it too.

He asked if it's possible, which it is, same with putting one into a 5th Gen. Got these pics from another site

The benefits come nowhere close to outweighing the difficulties of putting a K-series into a Lude. It'll turn heads though.

I saw that thread too. It would be pretty fun to take on a project like that, but I'm not doing an engine swap here. I've decided to go with the S tranny swap at this point. My H23A :rockon:s.
