Don't really understand the question...what are you trying to do? Are you thinking of swapping engines? If that is what you are looking to do there are about a biilion threads, articles and so forth when it comes to a swap...all you got to do man is look around and search. Good luck, but I think you will most likely find all the information you need if a swap is what your looking to do.

Check the top of this forum. Tab has an article on how to swap an engine into a 4th Gen Accord. Its pretty complete

a 94 is fifth gen, but it's close. Still OBD1.

These are the things I encountered with my 5th gen swap, but remind you this is USDM so Im not 100% sure if its the same in UK.

The driver's side mount you need is an aftermarket one made by Hasport. The 90-93 Accord mount didnt fit. The 94-97 Accord mount didnt and the 92-95 Prelude mount didnt either.
Depending on how handy you are, you can modify the a 90-93 Acc or 92-95 Lude mount to work with longer bolts and some metal cutting (removing the core from my 94 mount and putting it inline with the 92 Lude mount on the bolts to basically shim the mount with something very strong but flexible.)

You would need the int. shaft from the Prelude, but the rest are Accord.

We normally change the engine harness because the JDM ones are right hand drive, if both of your engines are right hand drive because you live in the UK, then I believe you'd be fine, especially if your Accord is an EX. Either way you'll have to wire a few things.

Everything else you might need to know is in Tab's article.
