Default Type-R engine swap

I am wanting to drop a B18C5 TYPE-R ENGINE in my 97 accord SE & I was wondering just how much modification this would take?

Accords make DAMN good doorstops. Plus you can idle your doorstop from one door to the next!

He gave you your options. It's hard to do an all motor F series, so you either boost your stock motor or swap in an H22 and either build boost or both.

B swaps and Accords dont mix, then theyre doorstops.

H series, like thw 2.2L H (H22) is basically direct drop in, use one of the accord mounts, try sticking a B in there lol, you'll have to get some crazy modification to mount it. B18C5 costs way too much, get an H22 for like half the price, and it will make the same power (give or take 10) and more torque.....Accords need torque, as they weigh more than any civic or integra, goodluck

Since when is it mechanically possible to drop an f20 motor into an Accord??? There is no transmission that I know of that will match up with this motor simply because it's a RWD!

F20B is from the Euro R, it would work, after all the Acura RSX/Honda Integra weighs about the same as my accord, and its running 2.0L engine. anything less would just be pointless.
