Default H22 Head/ F22a1 Block. Already have head on it's way. Need some advice!

Before anyone asks. i have already searched and found a few posts but nothing that will help me in the timeframe needed. thsi has to be done by the weekend so it's gonna be tough! I have a 1991 Honda accord with the F22a1 engine in it. the Head spun a bearing and due to oil starvation on my part. I know few people have done the H22head/F22 Block thing. i need to know what else i should be buying this week to get as much done as possible. I spu nthe bearing in the SIHC head and planned on doing this a long time ago, might as well get it done while it's apart. I picked up a complete H22 Head from ebay with IM and cams and comlepte. I plan on keepin the engine in the car when doing this only since i have no time or space to pull the engine right now. I know i need to block off some of the oil passages in the block, what headgasket should if order if using the F22a1 block? also what timing belt and water pump/pullet do i need? will the stuff i have on my F22 block work? If not what exactly should i order to get this done.

I understand this is not done much. my main concerns are will my valves hit the pistons if i just use the head and block the way it sits without changin the pistons out? Any help would be great! if anyone could drop me a line on AIM that has done this would be nice! Brain90992

They didn't have the Writeup on the engine i'm using. i have the F22a1...didn't see it in the list. anyone have any experience with it? from what i hear i will need all the timing parts from the H22....in that case does anyone need a H22 complete head? think i'll just go grab a single cammer and re-list the H22 head.
