I'm assuming you're trying to put an F22A into a 94-97 Accord from the little info you posted. Caps aren't going to get you a quicker or better response. A little searching would have told you that the F22A and F22B series intake and exhaust manifolds are completely different. This is because the head ports are different and not compatible with each other. To swap the F22A into your car you would need to use the F22A intake and exhaust manifold. There will be some fiddling to get the wiring and everything to work and I believe your exhaust will need to be modified. Honestly would be easier to just swap your original F22B2 head onto the F22A block and reuse your factory manifolds, etc. That's assuming the head isn't trashed. Also beware that there is a small water port on front center part of the F22B2 head that will need to be tapped and plugged if used on an F22A block. Other than that it's a direct fit.

It would basically be the opposite of what I originally said then. You would need to use the F22B2 manifolds as they are not interchangeable. Again, there will be some modifications required to get the F22B2 to work in your vehicle. Wiring, hoses and lines, exhaust will likely need to be modified, etc. It will fit as the blocks are basically identical but there is some work involved. If your F22A head isn't trashed you could swap it onto the F22B2 bottom end and save yourself a lot of trouble.

You may try using your original fuel rail off of the F22A1 intake manifold.
