My speedshop has recently been given a good condition (4k miles) F22 from an Accord... not sure if it's VTEC or not.
Anyway, the car is a '95 Civic DX Coupe, manual Trans, with A/C. It's getting some sick bodywork done (because parts are cheap and I'm doing a lot of work myself), but I don't want a paper tiger. So I was told today about this F22. Yes I've read that F/H series motors into Civics is tough going, but the bottom line is, I know it can be done with enough work and ingenuity. I'd shell out for a B18 but the simple fact is I am on a college student budget. The plan is to dump in this F22 and apply boost liberally. B)
The other problem is, I'll need to find an ECU and trans, which I doubt will be a problem. Do H series trannies work with F series motors? I know a guy that has a trans from an H23 sitting around...
