I need some help on dropping an h22 in my 97 accord I need to know what is envolved in do this like extra parts so on. I do have the tranny and the ecu would ther be anything else and how long does something like this take

 

I'm not sure but I heard one of the motor mounts needs to be replaced with a prelude one not sure what else really

 

You need the prelude driver side motor mount, H22 Headers and either a brazing rod (to fit the prelude end to the accord line) or the pressurized PS line from a prelude if you want power steering. The swap will be easier if you have an OBD2 motor and ECU. I would recommend that you replace the timing belt, water pump and clutch since you have everything out of the car. I would also do a tune-up. Then the might as wells start, while you have the engine out and are replacing the clutch you might as well put in a lightweight flywheel and the energy suspension poly engine mount bushings. You will also need to fabricate a bracket to hold the throttle cable if you want to keep cruise control. If you motor is a JDM version I would strongly recommend that you change the distributor to a us spec with the external coil. Last thing for now, PLEASE get the H22 tranny and don't use the F series tranny, it will make a HUGE difference in performance if you plan to stay NA.
Good luck. let me know if you have any more questions.

 

I'm in the process of doing mine. WRS...When you said, "You need the prelude driver side motor mount". Driver side in the US or JDM? I was planning to use the prelude's tranny, so I'm using the prelude's tranny mount and using the accord's front, rear, and driver(US) mounts. But I also heard that you suppose to use the accord tranny mount, however, two holes need to be tapped on the tranny. What is the best way to do this?

 

You need the USDM Drivers side prelude motor mount, and all of the stock accord mounts (accept the drivers side) will work fine

Also, check out: hmotorsonline.com , get the phone # from the website, and call the owner Stephen, he knows almost everything about the swap, and is willing to sell the engine, or the swap parts you need for really cheap. I have had nothing but good things come from his business.... Hope this helps. Good luck!

 

yes, but you need the driver's side prelude mount from a 4th gen Prelude. and it needs to be shimmed on the firewall side.

exactly, we didnt use a vtec mount,

it all depends on your money.. what wrs told you is not that off. but if you got the money to replace it all then cool, most ppl who dropped 2100 on a swap dont have 1200 more for mods..

good luck and read that accordinglydone post, it is exactly on key , as i used it for my swap
