Since your Have the H23a in your prelude, swapping in the H22a is a bolt in process using all your factory mounts etc.

2.5k is not a bad price if it includes gearbox and ECU.

Another option is to build yourself a H23a VTEC buy swapping the h22a Head etc onto
your H23a block.

Try contacting a few workshop/traders in your area to get a quote on either motor.

so if i change the H23 head to the H22A head i will have a H23a VTEC? will it blot st8 on or do i need gearbox and ecu?

In a simple answer yes.

You may require the H22a Piston & rods also.

This will require the H22a ECU & Gearbox aswell & axles & intermediate shaft also.

h22a halfcut around 2.5-3k... change everything over... especially gearbox straight forward conversion

dont bother with the hybrid. too much effort needed doing that. besides there aren't many mechanics with that sort of experience apart from those in the states.
