Possible to put a h22a dohc head on a h22 accord block?

As topic says.
Like i am just curious, is it possible to put like a prelude dohc vtec head (h22a) on a ~95 accord vti/vtis's h22 block (soch vtec).

And would this be viable.

Like accord manual vti's are fairly cheap now (<15k). But would it make much power dif, if possible?
Would the stock accord tranny handle the increased power?
Is it even worth thinking about it (accords are fairly heavy, accords dont have high performance parts on as stock [brakes etc]).

The Accord Vti actually runs the F22 series block. so I doubt you could bolt up a H22 head onto it.

Also, pretty much all the H22 series engines are DOHC VTEC.

lol

ops:

i dont know where the **** i got my info from.
It was stuck in my head that the accord had a economy tuned h22 with a sohc head.

oh well, there goes that idea

Not much point really even mucking around with head swaps when the H22A goes in reasonably easily. 99% sure the H22A head is completely wrong for the F22B1 anyway (or at the very least would require a lot of work)

That or a supercharger/turbo setup are the ways to go IMO

boost is the best for power:money

yeh the accord run an F22 series engine.
however u can drop in a H22A engine if u wish, i kno this is a very common conversion done to the accord in USA, this is of course if u want to keep ur accord N/A.
the H22A is a better engine to extract power from and all in all, has much more potential than a F22.
