It isn't impossible. As the song goes, "all it takes is money." That isn't a
bad dream, but do research the issues thoroughly before plunking down the
bucks. You could end up with a $15K 1993 Honda that performs like a '93
Honda. Once you know how much you are willing to spend for increments of
power (say, $1000 for each ten horsepower) you will have a clearer idea of
where you are headed. The tough part is the first increment, where you could
put down a few thousand to get to where you started.

Why not try fitting the 2.7 V6 engine and transaxle from a '95 and up
Accord? That might be the easiest.

Secondarily the 3.2 V6 from an Acura TL might fit with some fabrication.
The TL is Accord-based.

prior to the TL, Acura sold the Accord-based Vigor. It had a 5
cylinder.

but I have to agree with others, pouring $$ into a '93 Accord is just
throwing money into the toilet. a quick search on AutoTrader located a
1994 Acura Legend L 5-speed sedan with only 104K miles for an asking
price of $7K (leaving LOTS of negotiating room).
