I dont think an F22 buildup is no mans land...

I'm not sure its cost effective though.

BTW: Endyn actually makes rods and pistons for this engine.. both high and low compression

I have to warn you by the time you do head work, get cam ground, buy internals.. you're lookin at MORE than it would have been to swap in a H22. and realisticly you'd be lookin at more torque with the H22. a swap is really easy actually, with some help and knowledge you can have your H22 installed in a day. and the wiring is cake.

i cant remember proflow's webpage i'll look it up tonight and post it back (its in my favorites at home)

I'm not trying to derail your project or be one of those JUST SWAP it guys. but i do understand futility and i'd hate to see somone go broke for mediocre results.
