Well a 3rd Gen needs custom drive shafts and custom mounts for a H22 to fit in. The 2nd Gen uses the same engine as the 3rd Gen and perhaps the same mounts etc.

Could you get a H22 in there? dirt cheap to buy

You *could* get a H22 in there, but it will be a lot of work, and be very difficult. There are off the shelf conversion parts to put a B18 into a 2nd gen, I've come across them whilst looking at conversion parts for a B18 into my 3rd gen Accord. I can't remember the name of the companies now, but I found them through Google

yeah gonna say h22 is more common for the 3g, so looking H or even F series maybe

but 2nd gen engine's are mounted angle slightly forward, would this cause a problem?

Sign up to www.preludepower.com and you will find LOADS of boosted B20 3rd Gens. I mean LOAAAADS.
If i was to keep my 3rd Gen id go boosted or boost a carbed B20a4.

H22 2nd FTW...

Some nice looking 2nd gens in my pics library:

Seen a B16 in what I thought was a 1st gen, but was some old Accord:

And let's finish with how I would mod a 1st gen if I got one (which I will one day):
