You didn't need to post this once (you can search), let alone twice

On the contrary, searching returns no useful information about this subject. I as well have been wondering how hard/expensive it would be to do such a conversion. If the only thing you have to contribute to a thread is "search," why do you waste your time and that of those reading the thread?

If anyone has some useful information, please post it.

Its been done before. Much cheaper and easier to just swap an f22 vtec engine. Theyre a dime a dozen.

About $750 is the best price I've seen on an f22b1 (non-ebay). If that is cheaper or about the same price as the conversion, I think buying an engine like 40k miles on it would be a much better idea than converting the one i have which has seen over 210k.
Thanks for the input.

Search 'f22 h22' and you get 153 results. I didn't sort through it but don't bring your bullshit about search not coming up with anything. So STFU

sigh dont even waste your time OR money swapping an f22b1 head onto a 4th gen block... dont even waste your money on a 5th gen motor. if you think $750 for a wimpy f22b1 is cheap you should just cut your dick off and watch yourself bleed to death.

if you look around you could find h23 or dohc f22b swaps for that.

I have absolutely no interest in an H22, therefore searching for that is not what I am looking for. I was wondering about an f22a1 to f22b1 conversion, as I have already stated. Perhaps if you had read my post and the one before it you would know this. I have no interest in putting an H22 head on an f22 block or swapping in an entire H22. Please read what you are posting about before you start throwing poop at people. I would hope you could show a little more maturity in the future. STFU? That's an acronym for a phrase used by more 12 year olds than there are seagulls near the oceans of the world. If you are going to insult someone, come up with something on your own.

you;re not exactly acting to mature, or even smart... the info is here. however its a waste and you can either find it yourself or do the smart thing and just get a different motor.

Oh, I guess the H22 head would be too productive for your liking. Putting a f22b1 head on a f22a block is completely pointless (if you haven't already gathered that from the other posts in this thread). You'd get more noticable power from removing your spare tire

Well I guess you took all the good seagull insults

I wasn't trying to insult anyone, just showing how easy the search feature is to use.

Yes, I have gathered that the conversion in question would not be worth the money and time it would take. In that case, I will just buy a whole f22b1. I know an h22 would be much better, but I can't see paying an extra 1-1.5k for 50 more hp. I could save that money for a turbo later on.

The search feature is easy to use when you guess what to search for. More often than not, searching for the topic I want input on doesn't get me where I want to go. Not saying the info isnt here, just saying that a lot of times its harder to find than one might think.

Here's an idea for you: If you see a thread that you think has already been discussed, put a link to it in your reply. That way nobody thinks you are being a jerk and the info gets out to those who need it.

Correct me if im wrong here, but isnt the f22b dohc non-vtec? About the h23, I'd love to have one if I can really get it for about that price. The only issue is the swap... I'll do a little research on that one. If it could be done for a good price, I'd definitely go with the h23. As far as 750 being cheap, its the cheapest ive seen thus far. If you know of an online retailer with really good prices, I'd love to know about it. I'd prefer not to buy an engine through ebay cause you never know what kind of damaget has been done to the engine that the pictures don't show. At least with retailers you can send it back if it is FUBAR.

h23 and f22b are both non vtec. f22b and h23 are very very similar.

look around for places that deal in jdm honda motors online.

http://japanstarmotor.com/f22b.html there are also alot of other places you can check out too... maybe recycler.
