Default Lookin for help on choosin motor ...

Ok so im currently lookin for another H motor, since i just fugged my other one up. I had a H22a usdm, and it was stock. I am Debatin bwtween the jdm H22 ($690) H23 ($890) Or even a F20b($690) A couple question that i have :

1. H22/H23 parts are compatable right, headers, dizzy, intake manifold, timing gear etc ...

2. What would the redline be on each motor? H22(8200) H23(????) F20(8500)

and just give me some pros and cons to each motor, thanks!

get the h23 vtec, get it tuned and raise the redline to 8500 call it a day. I wish i had done this instead of getting my jdm h22.

ill give the reasons I choose the F20B. to be different and the 11:1 compresion that is built by honda . Im going to get into road race instead of drag. when i took her to my first drag i was the only all motor who made it in the sweet 16 (bracket race). nothin like being chased down by 10-12 sec cars. if i remember right it was 13.5 anyways thats a auto F20B w/GSR trans in a 2522lb EX 4dr full interior.
I never plan on going turbo and i wanted to stay 2.0 had a cr-vtec b4. If you plan on doing internals.... you can change the cams lol. the motor is a rev happy beast my tune has vtec engaged at 3500-8500 could have went lower but would suck on the freeway. its def not slow think about it this way would you pick a b16 or a b18. well exept your choosing between two built and stroked b series lol. but really the choice is up to you and what your goals are.
