Default f22b into my 91 5spd coupe

will a DOHC non-vtec f22b swap directly into my motor mounts and connect to all the hosing and piping???? i dont wanna hear if its worth it or not, please keep them comments to yourself. i just want to replace my stock f22a with 200k miles with something a lil different and definantly more power but cheaper than the h22 and thought the f22b would be a good swap. any input is appreciated thanks.

Yes the f22b is a pretty straight forward swap but think of it this way.

You spin a rod bearing on the f22b.... good luck finding a replacement.
You spin a rod bearing on the h22.... they are a dime a dozen (just a figure of speech)

You're not getting the point. The f22b DOHC is strictly a JDM engine. Good luck trying to find parts if they break. But with the h22..........

See where I'm going with this

With 200k, you wanna swap just the longblock?...save yourself time and money. Do it all at once.

Do it right or don't do it at all.

...well...you can start saving for a nice turbo build set up. Expect to pay $3k+, unless your a master mechanic doing it yourself.

My 90 has 260k all stock. I'm looking for a H23 full swap...cheaper, lower demand than H22, parts are available/easy to find, numerous upgrade possibilities, etc..

Think your options through 110% before deciding. Even a F22 SOHC VTEC is an upgrade.
