Default Engine Swap for Accord

Ok, Im want to swap an engine for a 91 accord ex...but I need some help. Im not loking for super fast speed , just better performnce/some speed. What engine would you guys reccomend for this car. Im going to be purchasing it at importautosalvage.com since I have seen many people say this is one of the best places. Im very confused with fnding the engine I need for my car on their site, They havea 98 acord engine for $1200 with 29,000 miles. Wil this engine be ok in my car? Does anyone know if th enginecomes with everything I need or do I still need to upgrade other parts. Sorry for all the basic questions but I hvebeen searching and I just cant find these answers.
Thanks

PS: If anyone can tell me or give me a link to an actual engine that you feel would be good for my car @ Importautosalvage.com.

drop in a newer f23 or a H22 or heck even a h23.

Your motor is old and tired. I have a 93 accord and when I blew it and swaped it out for a JDM 93 motor, the car instanly felt stronger even though it was the same hp rating. I've put about 40k on the swap from nippon and it still runs as strong as ever.

Why is this teh wrong forum, I thought this was for engine swaps...sorry if it is. Anyone else have any suggestions for me? Anyone know any good deals on a swap package or what I should be looking to spend? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

What? This is the right forum dude. This is the HYBRID forum.

I'd definitely look for an OBD1 H22. And I'd go thru HMO, or IAS, whichever is damn good.

go forward with an open mind and lots of cash! do it right the first time and you won't have to tear down and rebuild later.

yeah bro go to HMO which stands for ( Honda-Motors-online).com. Be sure to talk to steve he is always the one that pics up. Hes cool and all But he sent me a reprogrammed 5-speed car ran good for a minute,then ran like crap with a constant hunting idle. But hes really good with customer service anything that you arent satisfied with or parts broken he will replace or tell you how to fix it. Hes well known all over this forum a few complaints here and there but no sweat hes a good guy.
