Posted this in the Accord forum as well, but not quite as much activity.
Alright I was just browsing through some JDM-USDM engine sites and I came across where you can buy just the H22a "longblock."

<u>H22a Longblock Includes:</u>

- Motor
- Intake Manifold
- Exhaust Manifold
- Injectors
- Fuel Rail
- Throttle body
- Distributor

<u>Full H22a Swap Includes:</u>

- Motor
- Hydrolic Tranny
- ECU (P13)
- Axles
- Shifter Cables
- Shifter Assembly
- Stock Motor Mounts
- Engine Harness
- All Sensors Needed
- LSD Tranny (Optional +$300)


From what I can get out of comparing, all that is lacking with the longblock is the ECU, axles, motor mounts, harness, and transmission.

I know the stock Accord axles should work, along with the transmission. Then I can just pick up an ECU for around $250 and be on my way. Also someone mentioned the prelude mount and an engine harness. What would I be looking at for those items?

For someone wanting a swap soon, would buying the longblock using the stock axles/transmission be fine until funds allowed for the other stuff?

Or are there a lot of other variables that I am not considering?

Thanks in advance.
