Default need help with engine swap

ive got a 92 accord with the f22a6 motor now, im trying to swap to the b18c5(integra type r) i was wonder how hard would the wiring be? what mounts would i need or would the mounts off the integra work..im going to get the frount clip off the integra so the wiring shouldnt be that hard..and another question...should i even go with the b18, ive heard some pretty scarest rumors about the h22a but i was wonder would that be easier...heard the b18 had more room in the bay to work with..also less weight..also more expensive for the b18..h22a is less expensive..im looking to spend at the max on the entire swap about 4gs..appericate any info if someone could give me a head start on this swapping idea!! thanks!!

that would be stupid. 4gs *might* be enough to buy the motor, but B series motors wont bolt into your car easily. wouldnt you rather put an h22 into it?

a b series in an accord would be like a civic motor in an integra.

I dont see the point why people would want to put a B series motor in a 3200 ish pound car. Go with an H series and what scary rumors have you heard about the H22??

that b-series isn't going to have enough torque to move your heavy *** car. why waste your time/money?

Yeah, the torque in a b series doesn't hit it's peak until almost 7k. It'd be stupid to have that small of motor in an accord. You need something with more displacement. I would either go with the H22 or if you wanna be more original, the F20B.
