Default Which of these engines replaces an F23A?

I obviously am interested in doing an engine swap. Almost everyone says H22A but some say H23A. This is for a 98 accord 4cyl manual coupe (F23A engine).

Im lookin at this site

So what's your question, and what's wrong with your F23?

They both fit. It's the same exact engine except for a slightly longer stroke on the h23a.

don't try it, h series swaps in a 6th gen are annoying as all hell. just turbo and forget about it.

if you have an auto sell the car and buy a manual. it's not worth it to swap.

I wanna stay N/A so i guess I'll choose the H22A.

Why is a 6th gen swap such a problem?

Anyone have any success and/or horror stories, things to watch out for?

I just like the idea of creating power in the engine without forced induction.
It's like bodybuilding.......you can get freakish results with steroids, or be smaller with less side effects by going natural.

Plus i always here horror stories about turbo tuning/maintainance
