you can do the tranny swap, i had it done on my 97 accord, but be sure to have lots of extra cash lying around for random parts and such, it cost me prob around $2200 or so to do the conversion for parts and labor.

i bought all the parts myself and then had someone do the conversion cause i didn't trust myself with it

According to DLB1994, use the prelude trans. He says he felt an amazing difference (better) opposed to the F tranny.

and looking at his setup and hp #'s, i'll trust his opinion.
