you have to take the block out and order to send it to a machine shop. getting the head honed and blocked bored is not very cheap and easy either. might as well sleeve the f23 block and stick some wiseco 9 to 10:1 pistons and eagle rods and call it a day for the block.

mating a stock f23 block to a stock h23 head is not going to achieve the same results that particular 'hybrid' came up with, the nice dyno #'s is due to the high compression.

if you can get all those parts and machining for 600 bucks you got a good hookup.

generally in 4th and 5th gen accords, a swap will be easier since stock and prelude mounts work and no fab is need. 5th gens with vtec are even easier on teh wiring.

that guy had lots of parts lying around and had great hookups and did alot of the maching himself.
