Hey all, I just picked up a 1990 Acura Integra GS with a seized motor. I have an option to buy an F22A6 motor for dirt cheap. Will I be able to do this swap? I know I'll need to bring over the ECM and wiring harness, but what else will I need to do? Will the stock transmission bolt up? That's my biggest concern here. I know I'll probably need to swap motor mounts, but will I need an entirely new cross member? Is this swap even possible?

 

Transmission shouldnt be much of a concern. I believe they make an adapter plate to put a b series tranny on that engine. The rest of the swap is possible but requires a lot work as any swap like this will. You'll have to factor in about another $1000 to get the motor running and everything working in your chasis. In the long run, it'd probably be cheaper to put another b-series motor in there unless you're literally getting the F22 for free. Also, there's the fun factor. The F22 is an old accord motor. Not much power but good enough bottom end torque for practical daily driving and gas mileage. So unless this is just a daily driver that you need and not looking for any fun, I wouldn't want an f-series in there anyway.

 

If you have the time and funds, by all means, go ahead. You can do a F2B setup, but it will cost more. You could also just B20 swap it and be done.
