Default Engine Swap

Hey guys, I have a Q, I have a 95 Accord, I can get a 2001 Accord F23A1 engine, tranny, and ecu for about $500, my question is that will the F23 fit into my Accord, or will I have problems with mounts? The reason I'm considering the F23 is b/c of the lower compression, and when I turbo it, I want it to be daily driven, H22's are being done everywhere, this is also a little unique. I know when you boost engines, lower CR is good, so all I want is about 10 psi. The $1500 I save instead of getting an H22 I can get parts from Gude.......So, is it worth it?

P.S - Sorry for the long post.....and the engine only has 12K miles

you are gonna have a hard time... the engine itself is not an issue, the f22 and f23 are practically identical... the problem will come from going to OBDII from OBDI

2 things:

gude sucks

and

9:8:1 compression (f23) v. 10:0:1 (usdm h22) is not much of a difference
