Since the 96-97 Accords are OBDii, and the F20B is also a OBDii. Does the F20B bolt up and easily hook onto the 96-97 Accord like a H22A would on a 94-95 Accord?Just wondering since the H22A would probably require some conversion since it's OBDi. The F20B might be a little easier since it's OBDii like the 96-96 Accord is.Ran out of amount of questions I can ask today. So I'm just going to add this one here: If I were to swap out a engine from a automatic car containing a automatic transmission and all. And replace it with a different engine and a manual transmission for that car, would it be like replacing a manual car with a manual transmission to start with? Or would I need to do other things because there's still some automaticness in the car? Sorry if this is confusing, hope you are trying to get my point.

yes the F20b will bolt in and hook up easily in a 96 up accordJust so you know, all you need is a ecu jumper harness to make a H22 work in your accordtake a lookhttp://www.customcarscentral.com/skr...-94-97-.htmlIf you're trying to figure out which swap is easier to swapthe H22 will be the easier and cheaper to install in your accord, just grab that ecu jumper harness and you're good to goOnly issue with the F20b is not alot of people have it or even know about it, they keep thinking it's the s2k engine which is a f20c, and if something break most shop will not be able to help you much, because the U.S. don't have accord type-RThe F20b are mostly for the more mechanically experienced Honda owners, if you do get one for your accord just be aware that you'll have to do most of the repairs (if any) yourself.If you need a head gasket or something you'll have to go online, you can't get it from your nearest autozoneIf that's not really an issue for you than a F20b is definitely worth the money and time, but for beginners the H22 is the way to go
