Re: EngineSwapInfo
Depends on how much he will sell you the motor. Mind you, the motor is just 1 piece of the swap, you have to budget for the supporting pieces.
Plus, you will def. need some stiffer springs in the front but aside from that, h22/civics are beast.

Re: EngineSwapInfo
if you do a h22 i would get a h2b adapter those hss trannies i hear are junk, plus it would save you from having to cut your floorboard up for the h22 cable shifter if money is no option that is of course

Re: EngineSwapInfo
will it be faster than a b-series swap.... like lets say a jdm b16? My friends say its not worth it because it a heavy ass engine, and so much modification, also have to buy new springs

Re: EngineSwapInfo
I remember reading on honda tech that the h22 is only 20-30 lbs heavier than a B18. It also would be a good place to ask about h22 swaps.
