Default Accord-Prelude Engine Swap

I need to know if this 90 Accords Engine will mount up in this 93 Prelude.
How much work will be involved in making this swap?
Any help advice would help

a good start would be telling us what engine it is. then tell us which engine is currently in the prelude........

Sorry i dont really know what size it is. It is the original engine in the Accrod LX. And there is no engine currently in the prelude. So technically its not a swap lol.
i'm guessing its a 2.2 liter.

It looks like the F22B2...but you're talking about 130hp....I wouldn't. My 2 cents. by-the-way I have an H22A sitting in my shed.

I certainly would not put that motor in there either....all show and no go...bad I just pulled my F22 out of an accord and placing a H22A in there....but if you want it to run the by all means go ahead.

Well its not my first choice but if anybody can suggest to me a cheap engine then by all means. I was going to buy the Accord for 500. If anyone has an engine for sale let me know. Thanks
Im new to the whole Honda thing i had only had Fords most of my life. My current car is 96 Mustang. So im lost on the whole H22 whatever stuff. lol

I'd sell my H22A to you for $500, but then you gotta think about shipping. I have everything apart (ready for resleeve/rebuild) and that may mean cheaper shipping....LMK
