The f22 and H22 are fairly identical I believe. If you get the H swap motor mounts the F22 MAY fit. That's just my 2cents. If anyone can correct me that would be great.

Of course there will have to be "mods", mounts, ECU/ECM, wiring harnesses, at the very least.

But then again, "Nothing is impossible, the impossible takes longer and costs more money" 94
