88 accord engine swap ideas
help this old dude who also is a newbie to hondas, please.
through a wonderful set of circumstances, my 16-year-old son ended up with a free 88 accord lxi with fuel-injected 2.0 liter last spring. it is a five-speed. we have had to put a few hundred dollars into it to keep it going, but the engine, with 178,000 hard miles on it, is in need of crank bearings and other bottom-end work. this thing still does not blow smoke. it's got a new timing belt, water pump, etc. now then, here's the question: re-build it from the bottom up with racier pistons, cam, etc. that will yield more power, or swap in one of the semi-low-mile new japanese engines with more power? the accord needs a new front bumper, right headlight motor and a litte upholstery work, but the body is very straight and will werit a paintjob. it also needs struts, springs and strut mounts. because it was "free" and because the body is in such good shape, i think it's a bargain to essentially build it into a new car. suggestions? many thanks ahead of time. meanwhile, i will look through the archives and FAQs. His, ><>papa<><

With money any motor will fit!!!!  It all depends on how long you want to spend on it and how much you want to put under the hood suspension is cheap a set of Koni's and some springs $700 race ready and ready for a sunday stroll!!! What interior parts are bad?? I have the full interior out of a 93 accord stuff like the seats might be swapable??
