My F22/H23 hybrid build

[civickiller]

Ok so the winter project this year is gonna be yanking the old and tired F22 and build a motor to throw in it this winter. First off i need some opinions on this, im gonna try to keep the build under $700 and im gonna shoot to be puttin down at least 165-170whp on a NA.

heres what i got for extra parts as of right now, keep in mind that is gonna be a frankenstien build. ok so i got a F22A1 block thats bare and the cylinders are good (probably will hone out, minimal wear on them), H23 Head that has been ran thru and checked out and is in great shape with megan racing cam gears, H23 ported and polished intake manifold, decent set of F22 rods, F22 crank that will polish out, and i got most of the accessories like the oil pan balance shafts and what not. basically it just needs some fresh parts put in it.

Now i need some input from you guys on the parts i should get to accomplish my goal for my CB. please throw me some ideas and suggestions for the build!

Stick with the F22 head, get a bisi lvl 2 cam with his valve train and get tuned.

I agree. Build up the F22a block and if you don't already have a F22a head, then sell/trade your H23 head for one. Get the Bisimoto F22 level 2 camshaft with his valve springs and get tuned.

You'll probably be over $700 though. It may be more practical for you to rebuild your motor first, then save up for the camshaft, valve springs and tuning later.

I would stick with OEM engine parts if you want it to last and save you money in the long run.

i just want something a little different, so u dont think that the h23 head would be a good idea on the F series block? the reason i wanna use the H23 is because it has already been ran through and wont need rebuilt as where if i use the F head im gonna have to take it to the machine shop and then im lookin at $375 for a rebuild on the head (i may get it done a lil cheaper since i worked at the machine shop that did it, lol).
