Default f20b in a civic good idea or bad

ok so i blew my 2ondb16 and am now running a stock d series motor which is on its last legg. ive been doing some searches and found alot of people doing h22 swapps.i was just courious if any one has swapped in an accord f20 into a civic i found a web sight that sends you the complete swapp including custom mounts shift linkage wiring harness ect. for whatever vehicle its going into. i was just wondering what everyone thought on the subject. h22 or f20b?

F20B would be a good motor.... Higher compression than the H22....
Either of the engines would be a good motor for ur car...

If u have the money to experiment u should try H22 with F20B head... A friend of mine has that setup in his accord with some bolt ons and has manage to pull 14.3s on the 1/4 consistently with falkens in arizona.... up to u though

but either F20 or H22 would be a good engine. *even the single cam F20s ive seen pull some decent numbers not sure what the peopels mods were though*

H22 would be better in all ways. The only thing the F20 gets you is "ZOMG JDM MOTOR y0!"

F20B parts are a bastard to get. If you need a timing belt or something good luck. h:
