Default differences between the 93 ex and lx engines

i know already that the lx makes 125hp and the ex 140hp, but what is internally different between the two. My friend is doing the swap into his lx and wants to know
if the ex will respond better to bolt on's and etc.

thanks

Is that manifold any good for an F22B1?

Can be cooler for midrange, but Honda's top motors (ITR, CTR, ATR) all go with the single for the best top end.

my buddy added them at seperate times to his motor and he said top end ripped with the cam and said his car was running richer with the f22a6 ECU
