1997 Honda Accord Engine swap - 1/21/2008 11:06:00 PM    vtecsk8r   Posts: 12 Joined: 1/20/2008 Status: offline              My name is Blake Stressman and i have 1997 Honda Accord LX, with a 2.2L non-vtec, and i wanted to do a engine swap, but i can't decide which engine would be the best engine to build up. I was trying to pick from either the f20B sir-t or the h22a. Which one can handle more power and which one has more parts i can buy for it, since i want to turbo charge it and i want to take it to the drags. Post #: 1
