I am buying this 92 prelude and the guy says he bought this engine from h motors and it is a jdm 98-01 h22a type s red top. The serial number is 1154085. Any help?! Pictures below. One is the block the other is the transmission. I looked at Wikipedia and it states it is from a 92-97 honda prelude vtec. Just want to be sure. Thanks in advance. Also the engine was obd 2 at the time he purchased it.

So from what I have found out is that the motor is an h22a. Not a redtop or type s. It says it came out of a 92-96 vtec but I am unsure about this because the motor originally was obd2. I have done google searches and looked up other forums. No exact answers. Still researching.

The number points to it being a 4th Gen engine.

The engine and the head have the manufacture date stamped on them, so that'll give you a definitive answer.

Thanks

Update Frankenstein maybe.
Type s head 5th Gen
Euro r intake
4th Gen h22a block
I wonder about the internals.
Side note
(I don't pick up the car until July 22nd)

Thanks

Block is stamped Nov 3rd 95. So it is a 96 is what I am thinking.
