H23 is a non VTEC motor, if he has a VTEC head on then its from the H22 and did sort of a LSVTEC type deal but with preludes. Get what motor you want not what people want you to get.

they have an h23 vtec...its a jdm motor. thats the only way that a h23 can be vtec....unless they did swap vtec heads on non vtec block. i have never seen an h23 vtec. so if you can get a true jdm h23 vtec for 800 bucks....go for it!! good luck!!

mounts = more than half the $$ of the "complete swap" unless you fab
