Default 83 Honda Accord LX swap?

The engine in my Accord pretty much toast and i was thinking it might be better to just do a swap. Is there a newer Honda engine that wouldn't take too much changing of the motor mounts? and if i did swap, would i still be able to run it carbureted or would i have to change it to Fuel injected also?

Oh and it's an Automatic btw. Any information would be helpful.

I think you can switch over to the A20 and keep the original keihin carb or slap a weber on it.

Thanks. I jumped to conclusion that my engine was toast but it really just has a bad head gasket..

Though i am wondering if there is a Non-CVCC cylinder head that will fit my EK1 engine.

I don't understand this because weren't CVCC cylinder heads made of cast-iron? And why are there just holes where the Aux valves are in mine?
