Hey guys,
I am going to swap out my old A20A1 (88ACCORDLX) for one with a little less miles and not block warpage (my old engine had 179,000 and the newer one has about 89,000). What should I do with the engine out prior to putting it (The new one) in, ex: pulleys, clean up, gaskets, etc. Also, should I go ahead and replace the tranny (auto) for a newer one. My old one has a problem getting up to 2nd and revs high before hitting, however, it get a little faster like up to 28mph REDLINE, before going to second. Thoughts, comments, suggestions please :)

If the motor is guaranteed then just clean it up. If you want to change gaskets (which is a good idea) but it adds $$ up fast. If I were in your shoes, i'll just dump the motor in and fine tune it later.
Your tranny might just need Honda ATF.
