I blew a head gasket in my 93' Honda Accord (10th Anniversary Edition)
and now I want a new engine. The engine that I have now has over
200,000 miles and I just think its time for something new. I want to
put an Acura engine in my Honda that will give my car more power than
it previously had. Can someone tell me what Acura Engine is most
compatible for my car and what's the best way to find one?

Maybe you'd be better off just locating a lower mileage Acura..?

Well, the thing is, I want to make it my project. Plus I've been told
that it can't be done. Its a challange that I want to take on. I want
to put an Acura Engine in it. So all opinions are welcome. Any more
suggestions on what type of Acura Engine is most compatible with a 93'
Honda Accord (10th Anniversary Edition)? Thanks.

It isn't impossible. As the song goes, "all it takes is money." That isn't a
bad dream, but do research the issues thoroughly before plunking down the
bucks. You could end up with a $15K 1993 Honda that performs like a '93
Honda. Once you know how much you are willing to spend for increments of
power (say, $1000 for each ten horsepower) you will have a clearer idea of
where you are headed. The tough part is the first increment, where you could
put down a few thousand to get to where you started.

Why not try fitting the 2.7 V6 engine and transaxle from a '95 and up
Accord? That might be the easiest.

Secondarily the 3.2 V6 from an Acura TL might fit with some fabrication.
The TL is Accord-based.

prior to the TL, Acura sold the Accord-based Vigor. It had a 5
cylinder.

but I have to agree with others, pouring $$ into a '93 Accord is just
throwing money into the toilet. a quick search on AutoTrader located a
1994 Acura Legend L 5-speed sedan with only 104K miles for an asking
price of $7K (leaving LOTS of negotiating room).
