Hi wow amazing to see how a JDM CA Accord has made it into Chile, hope your Goldtop engine is in good shape looks like your spare B20A has seen better days although you might get some good spares from it.

Now I don't know if you realize but you have a 3rd Generation Prelude B20 or more commonly known as B20A5.
I can tell it's not a 3rd gen Accord or 2nd gen Prelude from the valve cover and they way the way the engine is leaning when on the floor on it's sump.

Now they did use some of the parts from the earlier B20A into the revisied B20A5 for the 3rd gen lude.
You can use the cams, the valves, all the valve train should be the same, also the pistons, crank, and rods can be used as well, possibly the oil pump or at least the internals maybe used, and if you swap all the pulleys from the newer one and the water pump and use a H23 timing belt you can use those as well or convert so that you can use B series adjustable cam gears, you can use F23 adustable cam gears have to buy two of them but with these the markings for alignment are out slightly so you have to be real carefull how you set them up for top dead centre and then how you tune them afterwards.

Unfortunately that is all you will be able to use the block , sump, and head are completely different in design and i also believe the gearbox bellhousing is also a different pattern too.
