ok so heres the issue, i wasn't planning on buying a new motor for my 1997 prelude, but cylinder 4 lost all compression and it has high miles on it anyway, so i'm shopping for a new engine now. On passwordjdm.com they have a JDM H22a complete long block, no distributor. Now here are my questions

1. Do i need a JDM distributer or can i use my OEM from my blown engine.

2. Will my OEM tranny match up to the new JDM block

3. If i need a JDM tranny also where can i find one

If you know anything about any 3 of those questions PLEASE respond, i hate having my baby dead and i want her to run ASAP

 

as far as I know all parts should match up.

I even used the starter engine from my european 2.0

 

JDM engines come with an internal ignition coil. your car has an external coil. if you re-use your engine harness, your coil & distributor will work fine. unless you have an SH, you can use your transmission on the engine you're getting.
