Im still not sure I understand why it is that people buy cars like that prelude to swap an H22 into it.

you know, if you looked around long enough you could find a somewhat cheap prelude with a factory installed H22. you wouldnt have to waste any time on a swap and could put your saved time else where.

If anything, drop something better in it. I'd love to see someone shoehorn a 3.2L motor in it =)
 
(after hours of autotrader research)... yes you can find 4,000 dollar 4th gen prelude VTEC's .... but they more or less all have a load of miles on them.... and i'd rather buy a shell and do a swap for a jdm motor with under 60k miles than pay 4 grand for a shell and a motor with 200,000+ miles on it, which may or may not have been taken car of, or raced, etc...

for the shell: 4th gen preludes look sweet
for the h22: i don't think i'd want any other engine under $6000 in a prelude...
