got it in and running in 3 hours flat would have been sooner if we got or custom fuel line b4 we started. It was just as easy as h23 swap if not easier

haha i just got the one right now. basically i liked the f23 due to the fact that its pretty much a drop in motor and is less likely to have been abused like older f and h series motors. I was planning on buying the motor eventually but friday night i got a rod knock so we pulled the old motor at 4am, i then picked up the new motor monday am and switched over the drivers mount and altenator bracket.

pt3 right now, i have a poa but my friend broke a pin pretending he knew what he was doing. i just got a vtec plug from my friend today. i think the main problems people are going to have to know is

1. fuel line is on wrong size get 3/8th brake line about a foot and the fuel line tbolt clamps to extend it
2. iacv block it off or buy correct plate to convert to 3 wire
3. almost every obd1 part from the f22 swaps over.
4. dont know if its true or not but i used the f22 injectors in the f23 rail b/c a friend said he read it somewhere it runs this way, I didn't try with the f23 ones
5. I used f23 top half of header and the bottom from f22 it has to be extended about 6 inches
6. my motor didn't come with rear mount so i used mine it works fine I heard others use the stock f23 with no problems as well
7. I think that's all for now as i still have to fix a few minor things then i will add on. I just want a better thread for future searches since we got some false info that made us think the swap would be harder then it was.

special thanks to my friend Mitch for letting me use his garage, and air tools that made life alot easier and he also did most of the pulling of the old motor and bolting in of new one.
