fist of all, I dont think anyone wants a V-tech head on any part of their car-sorry for being a smartass but there is no "h" in honda's variable valve timing system...ironic huh? as for the swap. I have heard that it isnt worth the time/money to swap a Vtec head onto another block for the minimal gains that you see from it.

anyways...you can get a F22 block for 300 buck, the swap would run you more than 700 buck, i dont see why you should do it.
