alright so i have a 2001 accord ex 4dr 2.3 vtec, and i just recently threw a rod bearing as some of u may have read, im wonderin if theres any kind of bigger engine besides a v6 that i can put into my car, maybe a dohc vtec prelude engine or somethin? but deffinetly a dohc vtec of some sort, ive already tried lookin around on google and cant really find anything promising, maybe in not lookin in the right places but idk, and if i do get an engine like that would i have to get a different trans?

 

Well your options for DOHC VTEC are: H22a/a1/a4, H23A, F20B. All of these will work with your current transmission.

 

do u know of anywhere that i could get one pretty cheep? i have about 700 dollars to play with but i dont have alot of time to shop around since this car is my daily driver as well, srry if im bein a pain lol

 

$700 is pushing it. You can get a motor for that much(or close), but its usually not a good idea to get one and not replace things like timing belts and other gaskets. tigerjapanese.com usually has the cheapest motors, but they also have mixed reviews.

 

so then what do u think i should do? should i stick with my engine and just rebuild it? its only a sohc, i mean yeah its fast but i really want a dohc, what should i do in ur opinion?

UPDATE:
nvm on the whole engine swap lol, i decided to rebuild the one i have
