Worth swaping?

hey i drive a prelude 99 and it has 80k miles on it, i was wondering whether should i swap my engine into a type s with lsd or keep my engine and fix it up. Is it worth swaping? like is the type s really way faster then the h22a4? or i should just keep my old engine. I wanted to mod my engine but im thinking whether i should save up for a swap. Im planning to keep this car more then 5 years thanks

JDM engines aren't that much faster than USDM versions. I wouldn't do a swap if you have a running H22A4. Is there something wrong with your current one?

If you are going to keep the car 5 years, don't swap if the engine you have now is fine.
