Is it worth it???

I have a chance to buy one of any three 1997-98 Prelude SH engine, tranny, ECM, and everything for an engine swap for 4000-4500. Is that about a nice price? Also I can't find a place to install it around my area. I'm not sure on the mileage on the engines.

yes u can, it's an h22a, heavy and not as much torque per litre like a k20, but still better than a d17 though, i dunno, i'd find out how much for install then compare it to a k20

Is h22 going on eg or something?

On 7thgen, not worth it.
Putting older engine is illegal and K series swap is available.
Why bother with older engines?

Nobody makes h22 motor mounts and harness swap for 7thgen, and nobody will make one in the future.
