    you must be referring to the "G" swap (H22/23 head on an F bottom end) It can be done but after the cost of all that stuff, you might as well get a whole H swap

    not really. the cost is cheaper then getting a complete h22 swap. all you are paying for is the h22 hg, timing belt, waterpump, and timing gear for the crank besides a head (which i have for sale for $350 complete). those are something you would "NEED" to do to any motor you buy. That is less than $1000+ for a h22 longblock.

    Not only just the cost, but theres a lot of work involved. Its not a weekend project. LS/VTEC for the honda big block. guess you could call it LX/VTEC (for the accord LX motor and VTEC head maybe?

    if you can change a timing belt then you can do this. might take a whole day but its doable in a weekend. when i had mine it only took 4hours to do....

    It takes a lot longer than 4 hours to do the swap on a F series. There is more skill involved than being able to change a timing belt. Before you put the head on you have to drill out the oil passage block off in the block. To put the head on you have to take the cams out of the head. You also have to know the proper technique for torquing the head. Then you have to put the cams back in. Theres a lot of stuff you have to do. Its not like you can unbolt the stock head and bolt the H22A head right up.

    Calling this combination a "G" series or a "G22" is a stupid name since honda actually has a G series, and calling the Fseries block/H series head combination a G series makes it even more confusing. These engines usually have issues, which is the reason why every person with an F series engine hasn't performed the conversion.

    i'm talking about the h23vtec, not the f22/vtec. and honestly, i don't see the f22 taking any longer than a h23vtec conversion if you know what you're doing.

    Peter's always done my motors for me and it doesnt take long
