Has anyone in here replace their engine with a short block from the JK?
Im about to do that & go with the short block and transfer everything over.
Its a 92 LX F22A1 engine. Need to know the do's & the don't, want this thing to be a direct fit. Plus, Im doing it my self in my back yard. Im in the Sacramento 916 area. What are the bare minimums involve in a short block? So do get back at me with all relevant info.
Thanks.

is this one w/ some mile(s) on it or a rebuilt block ( as in reconditioned )

Short block is as is, straight out of the Junk Yard. Im gonna have make engine road worthy before I stick back into my CB7. Just looking for research and ideas, so do get back at me. Thanks

Ive read that a 92-96 prelude base model fits direct into a cb7. Anyone done his swap?

Any of the 92-96 prelude engines will fit. Try to find a car that has body damage. Think about the possibities it wound up in the junkyard. If the car looks fine, it's likely either the engine or tranny are bad. If you find one with just body damage it's likely the car was running fine but got into an accident.

Im back & have yet to swapp my my engine yet. Can keep my a1 (TB) intake & exhaust manifold?
I know I have to get the a6: black box, cam & springs & ecu.
Any other things that Im missing to mention?
Thanks

I believe the 92-96 Prelude base model came with the A6 motor.

Thanks Fitz, that a short list. Anyone know other hondas vehicles with the f22a6 engines?

laloquera916

Swapping in a f22a6
f22a1 parts: to be slap on the f22a6:
(IM), (EM), cylinder head, water bump & timing belt (installed last May)

f22a6 parts: short block, cam & valve springs.


So if Im keeping my f22a1 (IM), exhaust, and Cylinder head, what gastkets do I order, or do I simply get the F22a6 (IM) with the black box? Do I get the f22a4 exhaust? Im planing on getting the f22a6 cam & valve springs.
