Engine Swap for a 1989 Honda Accord?

I have a 1989 Honda Accord and the engine is having some problems. I would like more power anyway, and I have been doing some research. I want to know if it would be possible to put in a F20B engine into my Honda, which houses an A20A1 engine.

If possible, would it drop in or what mounts would be required? Both are 2.0L engines, the F20B is only about 40cc different.

What engines would you all recommend for the car the provide the best power output with reasonable installation?

Update:

I believe the car has a E2R6-1989 Honda Accord 5 speed tranny. Would it be compatible, and, if not, what should I use? It seems like the P2T4 is the best option from what I have read.

    Follow engines should fit in the 1989 Honda Accord. Each motor requires a different amount of work. f20 (sohc & dohc), f22, h22, & h23 (I excluded Frankenstein motors). I would recommend the h23, but the f20 should fit. You will probably have to swap out your tranny though.

    Replace it with a re manufactured original motor. That way if you need something from Honda Vintage, the dealer can run your VIN number and it will have the original parts listing.
