I resently bought a honda prelude with and engin swap and the guy lied about what car it came out of apparently he didnt know. I went to the honda dealer for help on finding out what car that it came out of and he sent me here. Can some one pls help me it a 94 honda prelude with a h22 vtec in it
 
look at the ID plate on the block where the trans bolts to the engine, just to the left of the header, and see what it says. if it says h22a, h22a1, h22a2, etc.
 
that means it's a Japanese engine, anytime there isn't a numeral after the fourth character it means japan. it could be a run of the mill prelude engine, or even a type S 220hp version. but that's besides the point, why do you need to know? are you just looking to buy replacement parts? cause mechanically those motors are all the same. buy parts for any 95 prelude vtec and you'll be fine.

I'm not sure of what he's asking. I think he's asking if its a Type S. It's hard to tell sometimes. Get some pics of the head and there's some numbers stamped on the exhaust manifold side of the head. You can at least get the year.

The transmission is the next thing to identify, LSD/Non-LSD, I dont remember where it is on those should be on the front on the edge of the bell housing. Should be something like M2A4
