buying a high mileage lude for h22 swap(everthing besides engine)

I am looking to do a h22a swap after I purchase a cheap 92-93 prelude w/high miles, like around 150k. What problems should I worry about besides the engine and tranny cause they will get swapped anyway. I.E. axles/ electrical/ window motors/ etc... Is there anything I should specifically look for, or do Ludes hold up pretty well at that mileage. I figure if I bought a lude with 150k I would put another 100k on it, so the engine would be swapped, but the car would feel 250k on it.

It depends on what you want to do with it, but if I were in your
situation I would:
-Get enery susp motor mount inserts.
-get a swap that has ecu,axels, and motor/tranny
-change Water pump and T belt during the swap
-If the Radiator is the original, then it will go any day, your choice to be ready to replace later or do now. upto you

If your performance minded and half money laying around
you could do the Legend/Vtec brake setup because the stock setup sucks!
get SS brake lines while your there
get Koni or AGX struts and springs or coilovers
and a neuspeed upper strut bar for the front

I would recommend doing susp upgrades before anything else after the swap even if your funds are not there now.

goodluck

Well if I do this then the donor car would be my totalled 95vtec, so I could use all the parts off it.
