How much would you think..
H22A4 would cost to swap into '95 coupe Civic. Including parts, labor,etc. If you can do this kind of thing, PM me.

It totally depends. Alot of it is determined by how complete your swap is and the axles setup you decide to run. It isn't too hard of a swap as long as you are not too nervous about cutting some sheet metal out of your car but to make the swap look real clean takes alot of time. I use stainless steel clutch and fuel lines when I do this swap.
Rough estimate:
Complete Prelude swap, w/ 90-93 accord int. shaft and 90 teg axles, shifter assembly and shifter about $2500
Mount kit from HCP about $450
Custom fuel and clutch lines $60
Slim radiator fan about $100+
Random shit like oil, fluids and other misc. about $75
Install labor ???? depends on who does your swap
So if you DIY it would probably be a little over $3200 or so.
Things to consider:
Harder to keep A/C than B-series swap. HCP sells a bracket to keep A/C. I've used it on a car and it works pretty well.
Hard to keep power steering. I always ran cars without P/S but supposedly with a little shet metal trimming you can keep it.
Takes alot more time than a b-series swap so if you pay someone to do it then expect to pay a good bit more. I usually charged between $800-900
I'd highly advise a timing belt, water pump and auto tensioner change before the motor goes in. Alot easier.
If you get an external USDM prelude distributor don't worry about trying to find a rare (expensive) jdm internal coil. You can easily swap the coil from the stock civic distributor into the usdm prelude distributor and with minimal wiring convert it to internal coil. The part numbers on the civic and jdm prelude distributor coil are the same.
I'll add more later.
