I ran accross this clean 93 lude vtec. It has a 1st generation jdm block with 2nd generation head and a jdm f22 transmission. Im wondering how reliable the 1st gen block with 2nd gen head is. Is it a straight up swap with no drilling/tapping ects? Thanks

 

its as reliable as the guy who had it before you. the f22 trannies arent as good as the h22 but if the guy didnt dog it out and took care of it then it should be fine

What do you mean by 1st gen block and 2nd gen head? An H22 is an H22 is an H22 as far as heads bolting up. If you even have an H22, but you haven't even mentioned what engine it is.......................

this is what im talking about. LIke the guy above. im pretty sure he meant 4th jdm gen block with 5th gen head.

 

It will be fine as long as he used the correct head gasket for the 4g (closed deck) block, rather than the 5g (open deck)

I wouldn't trust a word that guy says...

'Prelude V-tech'

'JDM tail lights'

 

"Reinforced Lower end ready for turbo"?

That auction seems sketchy bigtime.
