I believe those are F-series but I'm not sure on that. That's the same difficulty as an H22. Not worth it at all.

IF its a 4 banger then its an F series.
I believe it is possible, but its far from easy.
Anything is possible with enough time and money.

dude, you will spend fortune to get that motor mount and work properly,
here is what you probably will need:
1. custom made engine mounts.
2. you will have to cut some of the frame.
3. custom made axels.
4. you will have to find a way to convert to OBD-1 ( i believe, but it could be obd-2, i am not an expert on new accords).
5. custom exhaust made.

that is the major stuff you need to worry about. lets not forget about emissions if you have any and some other shit.

I'm pretty sure our Axles would work with the H and F series. If not, other Honda Axles would.

The frame will not need to be cut but custom mounts will have to be made. That's the hardest part of the job. Aligning the engine in order to have firewall clearance and hood clearance. It can be done but if you do not have the proper tools it becomes impossible.

A custon exhaust and OBD-1 conversion isn't that hard... the really hard part are the engine mounts.

I've seen it only in pictures. No details and never talked to the guy.

It CAN be done and trhe swap is the same as an H22A in a 88-91 Civic.

A P72 ecu with an Interga harness would make that tear some ass.
F/H Axles won't work with our hubs, the splines are differant.
