Default I think I've been giped on my VTEC motor swap?

I stopped by the guy doing my motor swap's house today, and he had the car rolled out a bit from hoisting it in. I'm no Honda expert, but is it me or is something not right here???? What should I say to him??? I think im getting screwed but I dunno.

Doesn't look like one. Its missing a battery, headers, the little things - like ac and ****..............fill that in with your mind - and you'll figure out what else is missing.

Edit: Its definately not an H22...........the valve cover is different - easiest way to tell

Yeah that guy is ******* you over...that engine is NOT an H22 by any means...it looks like a SOHC VTEC engine from an Accord...which is not going to be very quick at all

I don't know why all you other guys are being like that...this guy is getting fucked and you're all like "no it's fine". What the hell? if i was that guy I would be pissed...and scared because someone is ******* with my car.

Did he say he was doing an H22 VTEC swap or just a VTEC engine swap?? Your manifold is not even going to bolt to that if you have an H22 manifold....which I hope you do if you wanted an H22 swap.

Progress...it just looks like he threw on an h22a valve cover over the SOHC motor and put up the turbo kit!

Anyway, hope it works out for you man.
