Anything is possible.
You would be better off converting your current engine to the fuel system off a LXi Accord.

If you want it fairly cheap, your best bet would probably be to just convert it to EFI. Not a lot of mods available though. Cheap and lots of mods just dont get along on a 3rd gen.

just do the efi convertion, drop the lxi block and drop the dx/lx head on the block, get sean's turbo and all nessecary ugrades and youre good to go. or do a b20a swap if you don't have smog issues in your state.

ok well i did a search of places in my area that could help me and all ive came up with is whole motors would it be better to just completely swap the motors or just the block,or while im at it just find an old prelude motor that will fit ?
