Default head swap

hey i got a 97 accord ex and was planning on having Gude mess with my engine head. the price is good but before i do that are their any better suggestions? i dont think H22 head alone will work. jdm engine? on account of the different vtec system the tsx head wont work will it?

thanks,
andrew

the vtec system is basically the same, only the switch contols two cams in parrallel vs one. the head from the h-22 will bolt up with some modification, though your best bet for ease of installation is just swap in a h22.

note: engine swaps kill resale value, you not only pay upfront, but in the rear of the transaction. a headswap will result in the same.

in a finacial sense, if you have the funds sell the car and buy a prelude.

in the fun side, stick with the accord.
