the "easiest" swap will be a 1st gen B16. search around this forum and you'll find out a lot. and use the search button first next time.

1st generation means the newer accords right?

the b16 is an engine mainly used for civics, but it can be swapped into your accord, do a search to find out more!

U are probably better off buying one from a shop.. only bad part about that it.. some of those shops do not offer good warranties.. Double edge sword.. Where in PA exactly? Also are u planing to do this anytime soon? Or are we talking about dreams here?

Wrong...
The first gen is pre OBD and were in Japan only, on civics and integras.

The second gen came in the US (del sol) witch is OBD1 and is not compatible with our cars due to a hydro tranny and all OBD1 sensors.
