yeah, best thing for a 5th Gen is an h22 swap, you all are still obd1 so its legal for you lol. There was a guy on here a few days ago selling his 5th Gen accord, he had an extra h22 engine just laying around he was going to sell with the car. You'd still need a new tranny, but you can ask him what he'd take for the motor.

5th Gen with an h22 should be a consistent mid-high 14 second car with a decent driver, nothing fabulous but it'd get you from point A to point B a little quicker
