Default 12v 2L swap...possible or not

My 86 Special Edition Prelude wuz smucked by an F-150, can I swap my 1.6 for the 12V 2L that was in the 'Lude. I have been told that the 12V can actually flow better than a 16V, is that just a story or true? Has anyone tried such a conversion?

what kind of car do you want to swap it into? if its anything newer than an 88 i say its not worth your time, because modern fuel injecton and beter designed engines make more power with less engine.

It would be goin' into a 94 CX, I thought it would be a viable option, as I have it built pretty stout. Would I be better to sell both motors and get a questionable one (cuz these are pampered) or sell the D15 and just deal with the engineering feats. Or....ideas,please
