Default Best swap/motor for my 89 accord?

I am looking for a mini swap of sorts. I was given a 89 accord 4 door dx, automatic, this is going to be my daily driver/winter beater.. I was thinking of an F22b/h23 because eventually i wanna boost it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. And is it hard, to switch from Carb-FI.

Thanks.

You would be better off with another car unless you have fabrication skills or want to sink some $ into it. Going from carb to fuel injection will take a great deal of work and parts, not to mention there are no direct swaps for that car. To fit an H or B motor will require all custom work.

I've seen a B18 in one before, don't know how the hell he did it though!

I used to have an 89SE-i coupe and I loved that car. I have been thinking of getting another 3rd gen coupe and restoring it and doing an F23 VTEC swap. That would be awesome and different. The biggest concern I have is the wiring and the fitment. Finding the car would be second.
