I've read lots of info about putting the H22 in an accord. I've got a 90 lx 5sp. It's got a significant oil leak around the head somewhere. Rather than put the money into fixing the problem, I'm looking at a new motor. I want more power, but don't really want the expense of an H22. I was looking at a chart of all motors and was wondering if some of them are possible with little or no modification. (little=h22 type mods or less) Here the motors that look like they have enough power for a base: B17A1 and F22 (appearantly JDM version). My question is can I find these motors, are there better options, and can I side-step the whole wiring modification like the h22 needs if I get both the motor/tranny combo and the whole ECU.

Edit: Are there also just head swaps that could be done. The head seems to be the culprit with the leak -
