if you are getting parts then get the parts for the 94-97 accord... do a search and read the newbie threads or tutorials... good stuff there.

haha i know it does
the reason im asking is because i have a 2.3 CL but it has been in an accident before and there is a different engine in it.
the engine in it still say 2.3 Vtec, but the mechanic said that its not the 2.3 CL engine so im just trying to find out what engine it is.

The engine code is right behind the radiator, on the block with like a 1 1/2 inch flat surface that has it engraved... its usually dust so just wipe off the dust...

The only difference i can think of, between the 98-2001 accord is the OBD difference if there is a difference...

I dont' think thats it... its on the lower portion of the block... to the left of the headers (before it goes under your block) and to the right of the transmission.. it should say like "F23a" or something like that...
