There might be some minor differences but it should be a straight swap considering they're practicly the same motor.

Should drop right in. I was going to do an F23/H23 head in my 95 but decided to just put it on the F22. You shuldn't have to worry about much since the VTEC is already ran. Heard the F23 is just as good as the F22
