mm well my last motor got fried and was burning oil really bad so i picked up a 98 2.3 cl motor. Problem, it was obd2. now sure i could go pick up a sohc manifold from a 95 accord but ehh im a cheap bastard. i used the bottom half of the stock cl manifold and used the top half of my f22b manifold then had the guys at gtfabrications.com weld them together to make this creation.
main reason for the swap besides the obd issue was that the water jacket and ports werent exactly an exact match....
heres the f22b gasket compared to the cl head
some minor porting was done while the intake was out...
top plenum of f22b manifold before shot
after it was touched my yours truly...
doh! too short, we had to extend it about an inch
fatty welds
all done....
first impressions.. pulls nice.... vtec has not been hooked up yet so i havent felt the motors full potential... but it decent for a stock motor.
