92 prelude h23 non vtec to h23 vtec blue top swap
I have a 92 prelude with 274,000 miles and a possible blown head gasket. I would like to put a h23 vtec blue top in. I need to know what parts i'm going to need to change over and what parts i'm going to have to get to make this work properly with no problems. Any and all advise and suggestions will be helpful.

That a stupid idea. That bottom end is trash, moreover the entire engine. Do it right and get the whole swap. Some mounts clutch plugs gaskets filters etc.

Hell with a chassis with that many miles you should probably buy something with the money you are going to spend on this as a down payment.

I think the blue top he is speaking of is the whole h23 with a blue valve cover, not just a head. OP a h22/h23 in that year prelude has been covered many times on honda tech and on prelude websites. Google it bro.
