4AC eh, so its an AE72. this leaves quite a few options for you in the swap department, such as 16V 4AGEs, Silvertop or blacktop 20V 4AGEs, and 4AGZEs (supercharged version of the 4AGE).

Post some pics of your car.

Is the 4age swap hard to do or is it easy as far as motor mount, wiring, and where can I get all the parts that I need for this swap.
I was thinking about racing it but it has 10435 org miles on it and the body is clean I will post some pic up for you to see it was a good buy I only paid 380 for it and everything in it works like new AC, radio, ect. but it is slow I drive an RSX Boosting 15 psi and now driving this is like man where is the power so I looking into a swap soon

motor mounts are in the same location as you're upgrading to another A-series motor (4"A"C to 4"A"GZE) what will pose a problem will be wiring and upgrading fuel system and whatever other things the 4AC doesn't have that the 4AGZE will need.

Here's a link that you can use as reference.

Most of this already applies to your car since you have a AE72.
