I don't think I would mess with the B20A5 if I were you. It's not really much of an upgrade in power (if at all.)

Because a B20A5 is an old Prelude engine

Comes from a 1988-1991Prelude 2.0Si

how about using the tranny from the b20a5 i heard it had a better gear ratio (acelleration orientated as opposed to top speed) i'm not sure if the tranny will bolt up to the f block or not tho
