yes, it is a B series engine, the code is B20A# (usually that last number is 5).

Despite what many people seem to say, it is pretty closely related to the other early b series engines. The bore is the same, same valve train design, and i've met a few people who have dropped the B20 crank into other B series engines. The big difference is that the engine is designed to sit at quite an angle so that it fits in the very low profile prelude hood.
