you will have to customize the motor mounts. the prelude motor leans back unlike the accord motor. you will need custom axles, the wiring harness for the prelude, the under hood fuse box most likely, the ecu from the b20, the sensors, the control box, the coil, an intake, the manifold/header, the flexpipe, and a custom exhaust from there back, or at least connecting the two pipes. they don't line up correctly, so you will either need to cut of the flanges, or cut the accord exhaust, twist it, and weld it back together. this will not be an easy task. also, if the accord is carbureted, don't even bother with the swap. you will need so much more it really won't be worth it.

correct! it will be very HARD!

it would be worth it for a H22A or B20B swap though...

(not a B16A though )
