i was researching on how to put an h22a head on to and f22b block and found out that it would cost some money. Then i came across an article on the f23a1 head and was wondering if anyone knew anything about this swap. Leaving 4 basic traning really soon so trying to get started beore i leave.

 

Ive done the H23 head swap on an F22B2 motor and it was all of $200 for the head with IM and dist $12 for timing belt. Car runs fine

 

just get a complete motor swap. less chance of something to go wrong. i got a f22b1 jdm motor dohc non-vtech with 160hp 148 tor for like 750$. and it bolts up to your stock tranny as far as i know

 

I say go with the whole swap if it's not a matter of money but if you want iron sleeves and you plan to boost this is a great alternative to the H23 swap. Low enough compression with iron sleeves. and you dont have to send the block off to be sleeved for $$$$

This is just a cheaper alternative for a weekend mechanic.
