whats the gearbox code out of interest
Ive got a box that came off a prelude - but the code refers to an accord box. Mine is P2T4 or it could be F2T4
so yes like Indigolemon says its a straight swap.

I don't think so, I know that if you do a 2.0(F20) to 2.2 VTEC(H22) swap in a lude, you can use your existing driveshafts.

Should be fine bud. Many (mainly in the US) run H22's without a front mount. Although they do generally run uprated mounts in the other three positions. You may just find your side mounts don't last as long as they should if they're just 15 year old OEM ones.

It's actually here mate, but you'd need to make your decision almost immediately as if you are interested I need to amend everyone else's amounts to pay as you'd also then be contributing to the shipping.

You would have to buy a rear mount as well though and I would need full commitment.

You can run a solid rear mount, but just make sure it's strong and the bulkhead is reinforced.
