Default f22a1 swap

Before anyone starts bashing me for wanting to do this, please keep in mind that I have no desire for an h engine in my car. I am planning on doing a swap from an f22b1 to an f22a1 with upgrades. I currently have a 1996 f22b1 auto, and will be swapping to a 96 f22a1 from a prelude. Does anyone know what motor and trans mounts I will need to use?

You just re-use all your Accord mounts.

Yeah there will be a tiny amount of work, but you will definitely want to reuse your Accord harness. And in the end you'll have a far superior F22Ax head. While you've got it apart grab an A6 cam, and the OBD2 Prelude P12 ECU for more power

will i have to re-pin any wires on the ecu? or should I be fine? Sorry for the thirty question guys. I figured that there would be a little tweaking to do this swap. Just wanted to know what I am getting into. I have looked, and not many people do this swap. Everyone always wants the vtec head. Why would anyone want an inferior head design.
