    A20A1 Swap, Daily Driver

    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.
