it would cost a lot more, get a d16z6 and call it a day, it'll drop right in if i'm not mistaken, but let some of the other people on this site tell you more, i'm just learning too

there is no motor out there that will drop right in to a 88 accord but one and thats a jdm b20a, all other motors other than the stock 86-89 accord and prelude sohc motors will take 100% custom work to make fit and work in the car.

^ Yep, IMO just drive the car as is, but if your dead set on doing a swap I would sell it and buy something more swappable.

The best swap for an 88 Accord is to swap the entire car out for something that's more tuner-friendly (88-00 Civic, 90-01 Integra, 90-97 Accord, etc.)...
