accord to prelude A20A3 swap

[dude and his lude]

this is my first post on here and i look forward to doing more and reading all of them that pretain to 2nd jen ludes !!

Question, i have a chance to purchase an A20A3 motor, auto tranny(complete) out of a wreaked 89 accord se-i with only 93 thousand miles on original motor. the accord has back rear damage . motor asking price is 400.

will i be able to drop this motor into my 86 prelude si 2.0 with out any hassels? i will be using my own 5 speed tranny from original motor.will there be any issues that i might run up on or can i use the complete motor and drop it in ? i have the accord computer and it will be installed and the prelude computer removed. the motor i have in my prelude is a BT with 375 thousand miles on it. it still has some life left in the motor so i wont be in any hurry to swap the motors unless the original goes bad all of the sudden .

thanks for any input from fellow luders !!!

holy shit you put that many miles on a prelude?

im not possitive about this motor swap but there are always problems and customization when you swap an engine from one car to another
