the F20 i believe is the prelude motor. so its directly related to the H22. (i believe)
makes about the same HP as the H22 but with a bit less torque. could be wrong though... google it, no? or someone here shall clarify a bit more

ah then yes.. you BASICALLY got a H2B setup there... if you decide to use a b16 tranny on that thing. just search H22s and civics... F20=H22. just the older versions in the older preludes. you know... the 2.0 si models.

F20b is a DOHC engine, very similar to the H22 with a smaller displacement, iron sleeves instead of the FRM the H22 has, better gearing, and LSD. They are everything good about the H22, without any of the bad, swap is the same as for an H22 (with the possible exception of the ecu, not sure what you'd use for that as they were all OBD2, likely swap to OBD1 and tune).

not true, f20b's dont make as much power as h22's and if you get an f20b off out of an auto it makes a lot less power then an h22. plus f20b's never came to the states, so they can not be ref'd for a car, if your looking for that sort of thing. If you are going to do an f20b, id just do an h22 the long block is cheap and you can actually make them legal for your car.
