Default What to buy???Need Advice

Okay so im coming back to the honda family, but before i rush into buying a car like i have the other 2 times i wanted to ask peoples views on what im leaning towards getting. I was looking at the 92-96 preludes with the h23 (now keep in mind im new to swaps and the honda engines) Now i was thinking of buying this car then going out and buying an h22 head. Get the head worked on and evantually put it on. OR just tryna do the full h22 swap. Which one of these is better. I plan on staying N/A, but i wanna work the engine to its max. which one of these is better in your honest opinions. anyone know where to get track times for the h23 block with the h22 head.

Or should i just buy the 96 vtec lude? Im stuck cause i dont really know the outcomes of these nor do i know whatthe hell im doing.....but i do have money.....so screw it...i need some advice

Also if theres another swap you think that is better tell me .im open for ideas. But i dont wanna get to into it with money like dropping 5 grand on a type r motor.

If you are staying NA. Stay away from the prelude. It will cost you serious dollars to break 13s and ridiculous $$ to get any lower.

13s is simply a cx/vx/dx eg hatch and an h22 swap away.

Do the math, you will find out quickly it isn't worth it to stay NA on a 2900+lb car.
