I have an auto 97 accord and am lookin to swap out the motor for a H22a. I am lookin to make it manual obviosly, anybody know where to start??

 

Yup... you need to call my mechanic.
How far down in FL do you live?

 

I live in Lake Mary which is about 20 miles North of downtown Orlando

 

Hmmm... well, that'd be a little drive for you. But he's done swaps for people farther way then that.

 

How much does the actual motor itself cost brand new from the factory and how much is installation? I may be able to have it put in here in town.

 

Brand new? A LOT. Get a used one, refresh the motor...

motor and trans, ECU, axles, etc.. I can get for around $3500? $3700? Don't know about these other guys. My mechanic has a swap that he can get his hands on.

if you see him on here his SN is obd1canobie... his name is Don.

 

thanks for your info, i'll keep an eye out for him

 

Where's your mechanic at ? I'm in SWFL.

All the shops in my town are iffy.. they act like they know wasup.. but then I hear horror stories from other people.
I need a damn lift and air compressor in my garage !

I found a H22A w/ 30,000 or so miles on it with everything you need for a swap for $2100 (mail order).

I wonder what it would cost to build the block and head up...
**block brace, pistons, rods, bolts, springs, retainers, valve job, extrude hone, port & polish, and complete balance. **
hmmm
.. then add T3/T4 hybrid w/ intercooler, blow off valve, timer, cams, gears, guages and dyno tune baby..
Stomp some B18C hatchbacks !

 

Obviously? Why is that obvious? :D

Here is where to start http://www.importautosalvage.com find a motor. Once you find a motor, then we can talk install. Every year car/motor combo is going to be slightly different on install.
