Default prelude swap

i want to put a b18 (either ls/vtec or GSR) into my 90 prelude, people keep telling me that its to heavy and needs an h22, but i found that its only around 50 lbs more then the integra (and im guessing a lot of that is the engine difference) so my real question is: well this swap be extremly hard and can i use the transmission, clutch, and items from my old engine (b21a1)? thanx for any help

why not do an h22.... more power/torque, and it's less costly then a b18c1?

Yes the h22 is way better and more practicle than a b18c1. Or if you want to get crazy do an h23 vtec swap. I'm in the process of doing this myself

what all would be needed to put the h22 in the prelude? i've got an 89 would that still work? and do they make any swap over kits for it? thanks.

no matter hat you are looking at custom moutns and i dont know fo a bolt in kit for that car anymore for a B or H series.
chancs are ot make it work you will need the donor engine with mathcing tranny and none of it iwll easily work with existing parts in teh car.
