this isn't a question for me, i have a buddy who has an atuo b18b in his 97 teggy coupe. im tryin to get him to go b18c1 or b16 head on the block and buy a gsr tranny. ne ways the point is, 1.) the dude has NO knowledge of honda motors and 2.) doesn't even no what he wants to put in h22/gsr/ls-vtec but for some strange reason he thinks he can put a b16 head on an h22. now the first question is will it even bolt up and if it can, wouldn't you have to use the h22 cams due to a different stroke and there for timing issue?? and if so is the any benefits to doing so i personally don't believe it but i just have to know for sure. thanx sorry for the long post
h22 with a b16 head, even possible??

Personally,
hit your friend for me.
Not possible. Tell him to take the money he'd like to invest in mating an h22 block with a b16 head and go buy a lambo or something.

I've been doing it wrong..... all this time I've been using duct tape, and zip ties.
liquid nails works great too if you're on a budget
I think APC actually makes a B16 head/H22 block conversion package, complete with a paper head gasket, puke-green colored "tuner" head studs, and a"garden hose spec" oil line re-routing kit.
You guys probably can't afford it though...this kit costs baller money...
thats not always the case tho,,
umm...what's so funny. most cars have a factory "paper" headgasket. including hondas and nissans.
maybe they have an H2B conversion.

Oh, I do a little here and there.
If he's the the money tell him to fab up a K-series fit 
. Or just go b18c1 GSR.

To find the answer for that you'll just have to do some research. You might be able to find all that stuff separately for cheaper than a full swap, or you might not. Check out Craigslist; I see a lot of Honda blocks, heads, and transmissions for sale on there.
Also keep in mind that you're going to need an ECU if you're not buying a complete swap package. Actually, you're going to need a lot of things...pedals, shifter assembly and shift knob, shift linkage, master and slave cylinders and all the transmissions lines, a manual tranny gauge cluster, etc.
It might actually be better to just get the auto-to-manual swap taken care of first, and then worry about swapping the head or swapping the motor.
i knew about the clutch pedal and what not, thats what i meant in "clutch assembly". see the problem is, my friend doesn't know shit and im guessing he wants me to do all the work. might as well do it b4 i ever do mine that way if i screw up ill be smarter about it on my car. so i guess ill do the tranny swap first, ive done one of those before so its all good, i know i need different axles for the manual, but dould i also need different mounts??
