Check the Prelude FAQS for engine sources. You can get a head there. Also I here the H22 head is not good with the H23 block. Something like the H23 block does not have oil squirters for the H22 head. Someone can fill you in on this I hope.

well...im pretty sure that the head is the same, just a diff crank. and i know of a place in cali that has one on hand. saw it with my own 2 eyes....pretty sweet. except for the fact that they all come with an auto sportshift tranny. thats not a problem though...mate it up to a h22 tranny and youre all set!

So my friend will be better off with the whole H22 then ? A local shop said they would do it for $2200:eek: , hell I can get him a newer H22 with ecu, tranny etc. for $2500. He says he want's an H23 DOHC VTEC cuz it will have more torque than the H22.


By the way, Ludeboy, you have one of the cleanest 'Ludes I have ever seen
