I think you need the top part of the motor where the Vtec is located, because the bottom of the engine is the same for both F22 vtec and non vtec.
Will need new ecu and new wiring harness for that too I believe. Do a little research also, and hope that other members will give you more help too.
My friend is interested on doing this also, because he has a 96LX and wants a vtec on his!!!

Yea, I would really like to do the exact same thing. First off, you should seriousally get a manual trans with the accord, it is so much better. That is beside the point though. I believe you get the v-tech head, then you will need the ecu from, I believe, the f23? Correct me if iam wrong. Once that is taken care of, it should not be too much work. Although I would recomend a new timing belt and getting the timing re-adjusted. You should deff. e-mail me if you find out how exactly how to do this. There also may be something that will have to be done with the oil, not sure.
