i would look into a early prelude motor if you want better performance... might be an easier swap
also look into going custom turbo, prob a hell of a lot easier and far cheaper...
as to your question, no i have never heard of anyone doing it but if you look long enough you will probably find someone
first stop: google
1979 saw the logical expansion of the Accord family with the addition of a four-door sedan, aimed to do battle with the likes of Toyota's Corona and Mazda's "new" 626. Though it shared the same platform and wheelbase as the two-door hatchback coupe, the sedan was nearly 9 inches longer due to the three-box body style. Unlike the coupe, the sedan came only in one trim level; an "LX" version was still five years away. The engine grew in size to nearly 1.8 liters and output went up to 72 horsepower. Other improvements included the addition of an oil cooler, power steering and a tachometer to the standard features list, a larger radiator and more efficient exhaust system.
The Prelude was the most powerful car that Honda offered in 1979. The first generation of Preludes was offered in either a two-speed automatic or a five-speed manual. But the engine that was offered, a 72 Horsepower at 4,500 RPM, made the Prelude a rocket next to most other cars of that time even though it was, by today’s standards, a small engine.
bondo work?we just ripped the badges off and did the bondo work
I have a 79 accord too and i just figured out that a 2.0si carbed prelude will fit in(88) , and will give 110 horses at the fly wheel, im adding a lightweight flywheel to add acceleration, and yeah 88 prelude si motor will fit and best of all no ecu reprogram
