Default New to Jap cars

I just picked me up a 89 Prelude got 145k on it runs like a dream but was wondering down the line what would be a good an pretty simple engine swap. I got just the stock 2.0 SI in there now. An so far i have to do body work before i touch the engine but was wondderin if i can do a h22 or do like the b or k series (or just rebuild an throw some forced induction on her)..But like i said new to this so the easiest would be best..any info would help..

Welcome to the wonderful world of imports. Maybe you would want to check out
Prelude power.com, they have a section dedicated to 3rd gen preludes like yours. Maybe they can be more helpful there. the lude guys here on honda-tech deal more with the 4th and 5th gens preludes.

H swaps are ok, but they're alot of money. I miss my B20 and I'll definitely be building another one with a B in it.

Honestly I would just put a nice suspension on it, some bolt-ons and maybe a tune.

Theres alot you can do to an H, but it makes the car less fun to drive the more you do.
