well... your 2 options are swapping the head, or swapping the eninge. both will cost about the same, and hoestly yhe h22 will hold out better. once you get the h22, crower has great cams for h22's

Yes, the H23 VTEC cam in an Accord Wagon in Japan. It was rated at 197hp and something like 167 ft pounds of torque. No one that I know of has actually swapped it in...maybe I'll be the first in a few years.

id say 999999.9% chance it would. any obd1 dohc ecu i belive plugs into my socket, so i'd use my wiring harness on that engine, like a obd2->1 swap. and jsut keep my ecu.

funny this is up now, ive been reading about a s2k crank going into a h22 giving it a borexstroke ratio almost identical to a type-r, if not exactly. that would mean much higher safe redline. h20 sounds nice. i'd IMAGINE the h23 has a lower redline, but i'll check.............checking............nothing oh well, the search will continue

im assuming the f20c is s2k... the heads are very different, and the......timing chain.... drawing board time....wait crank pully, ok. the s2k engine spins the other way, and the rods probobly need to be custom made to align TDC right, but i get a 2091cc displacment from what ive read, and i can basicaly go with any f or h serise piston.
