ok i was on my way back to chicago from nashville where i attend college and i blew out my rear main seal in my b20a3. i have been wanting to do a swap for a long time but have next to no cash. and the b20a5 does not have the aftermarket support that i would want it to for later down the line mods. the h22 is a very expensive engine and i cant afford that. :wzbigcry: so i did some research and came up with this. in the 4g prelude the h22 was offered v tec and the f22b was offered non v tec. the lude with the h block has chassis code BB the lude with the f22b has chassis code BA which happens to be the same chassis code as the 3g lude. this engine can be found with trans and harness for 600. which is still more than i have right now but my b is dyin and i am going to have to get a new engine soon. has anyone ever heard of this being swapped? any info on it? if it has the same chassis code then the engine mounts should theoretically be the same or relatively close right? or am i horribly mistaken? if this can be done relatively easily then there is a swap alt. to the h22 that is much cheaper and has a 160 hp. a respectable starting point. any info or opinions on this would be greatly appriciated. thanks
