Any of the A series Honda engines from similar years should mate up to your transmission. Your engine is an A18. Any of the A20 engines would work.

If you are able to find the JDM B20A engine from a 2nd generation Prelude, it will bolt into your car, but may not mate up with your transmission. You'll need the beveled hood that came on the JDM B20A 2nd gen preludes as well.

Best to just stick with the A20...it's a great engine.

You might just have to try to get second hand parts off ebay.
