OP,

H22 into a CL is the same as the H22 swap into a 6th gen Accord.

Is the F23A1 really stronger than an H22? I know it's not the same cost.... F23A1's are a dime a dozen. A good condition H22 will cost ya...supply and demand.

Yes this motor is stronger and better. It's a little more expensive but it's worth it.

Yeah that's a J32........ The OP has the 2.3L 5spd version of the CL. It has the I4 F23A5 not the 3.2L V6 VTEC. It would be like swapping a J32 into a 4 cylinder Accord, a lot more expensive than an H22 swap, not to mention the OP would also have to find a transmission to match it.

Hmotors sells the complete change over, that includes the tranny. I think he'd only need a harness and he'd be good to go.

j32 in to a CL is a horrible idea. H22 is a great idea, and easy.
