1988 honda prelude engine and tranny question

[Nervous]

will a b16A5 block and trany fit in a 1988 honda prelude?????????????

if anyone had any input it would be most appreciated.

[Scat]

probably, but that would be a retarded swap

[BBSatan]

it would work, but you would be better off dropping a b20a5 in it.
To do it you would need new motor mounts, they make some conversion kits, but i dont know about that one.

I have a 91 prelude, you could buy it, real cheap! haha

Really! why would you recommend the B20 over the B16? because I have the B20A5 engine in it now. the B16 I was referring to may not be the A5 block, Here are the specs. for the engine I was reffering to.

Code :_ B16A G2
_ Manufactured Year : _ 92-95
_ Valve Train : _ DOHC, VTEC, 16 Valves
_ Displacement : _ 1600cc
_ Horse Power : _ 170 @ 7800rpm
_ Torque : _ 116 lb-ft @ 7300pm
_ Compression : _ 10.4:1
_ Red Line : _ 8200rpm

Bascially I'm just trying to get the best power for money, meaning aftermarket parts are much easier to find for the B16 than the B20, and on that note would any parts from say a b18 or B16 fit the B20 block that I have?

B20 has more displacement and is easyer to install

Yeah preludes are pretty heavy, so you would need the extra torque.
