Default looking for some help on my 3g accord

ok so this accord just aint workin for me. i went from a 4g63 powered 6th gen galant that had about 150 hp to this little POS. i need MORE POWAH lol. i decided when i first bought it that would never ever be one of those "oh i got this accord with a engine swap" yada yada yada, but now after driving it for about a month i see why most honda guys swap out motors...cuz stock blows ass lol. what kinda motor will swap into a 3g accord (i have an 89 lxi) and what would be the best to get to mod? i wanna go as cheap as possible on this so dont be like "buy all kinds of sweet jdm goodness cuz its the shit" i dont have the time or money for that. i saw an f23a1 in the FS section for 300 bux. is it worth it to grab that and swap it in? i read that this was the motor in the next gen accord after mine so i figure it wouldnt be too hard i suppose. just hit me with some wisdom i know hardly anythign about honda.

your goin in the wrong direction. your driving the wrong kind of car even after the swap it will be slow.

I think I told you all this before

The A and B series from that time, were very similar. Good luck in tracking down a set of Hasport mounts, but a B series is the best way to go. The F platform is for a different car, just drop that now. If you are serious about the work, start reading @ 3geez.com.
