    The bt will drop right in. The engine code was later changed to the A20. I have a B.S. engine, the same year as your B.T., its just carbed.

    Ever hear of the F or H series? That was in the 90s though.
    The 1984-1987 ludes used the ol A20, there was even an A18.

    The 88-91 used the bastard B series, not quite the B20A JDM and EUDM 3g engine, not quite the Integra/CRV/later Civic Si's but close enough.

    Im not trying to bash the B series, they are all nice. I just called it the bastard because it does not take many of the aftermarket parts that are made for the Ingegra.

    Its not the crack you've benn smokin , its you.

    Man I do not know where to start.
    The reason that later Accords can easily take an H22 is they came with the H22 in Europe and Japan. Ever heard of the Accord Euro- R? The F and H series used the same mounts, among other things.
    Preludes used the f series from 92 on as the base engine. The H22 was the optional in the higher end DOHC Vtec model. The '92-'96 Prelude S had the F22A1.
