    welcome to the site man! Neither of the motors are going to fit without a ton of work, custom mounts, linkage, axles etc...a ton of work.

    well we need more information to answer that question. Is it fuel injected or carbeurated? what kind of money are you wanting to spend? How much technical ability do you have?

    Re: 89 accord

    alright awesome.

    Cold Air intake for 90-93 Integra, $20 shipped on ebay. Really helps your midrange and top end
    Pacesetter header - 200ish. Get it high temp coated, or paint it with high temp paint, inside and out.
    Muffler - do a cheap rice can or buy a decent magnaflow, delta or hooker aerochamber muffler. Do 2" or 2.25" diameter piping
    Catalytic convertor - magnaflow again

    That should run you around 500. After that you can get a cam, do a general tune-up on the ignition, etc.
