Default 95 Accord engine swap or stay?

alright i have a 95 Accord with a F22B non-VTEC. should i go with an engine swap or build off this engine? If i were to do a swap i would go with a H22 which would be much more expensive than just working with what i have. I guess the main question I have is, is my stock engine worth working with and building on?
-Anyone with help thanks-

There are some people that will tell you otherwise but I would reccomend going with the swap, It seems efficient, and in some cases, cheaper

I am sticking with the f22b1 personally.

Swap if your staying all motor.

I would go for the swap. I have the same motor in my 94LX. I had a lot of money invested in bolt-ons, so I decided it would be cheaper to build the F22. By the time you have the block work done, buy custom pistons and rods, have the head P&P'd, custom cam, etc., you could have done the swap and put money in the bank. I'm not saying that you can't build the F22B2, but it's certainly not less expensive than swapping in the H22, and the H-series motors have greater potential not to mention parts availability.
