My advice is to buy an engine made for a daewoo since the engine mounts
and various wiring harnesses,etc will match up perfectly and would require
very little work on your part. That would not be the case if you tried to
install an Accord/Prelude into it. I once talked to a person that placed a
chevy engine in a ford. He told me that it was a the craziest idea he ever
had. He spent over a week welding in new engine mounts and rewiring
everything. He said he could have placed a Ford into it in about 8 hours
or less.
