That is a great question because I also have an F22 and am looking to swap with an H22 but want to get the California Legal package and want to know what extras I'm going to need to make the swap smooth and not have the swap take any longer than it has to take. Good question yolaccord97. :D

If the swap is anything like those done in 90-93Accords, then all you, or better yet, all I needed to do was the following. On the tranny mounts you need to tap two holes and they need to be a certain size. You will use all of the F22 engine mounts. Now, for some reason, when i put prelude axels, I ripped the boots in about a week. I think the reason for that was the axels were too long. So, I'm using Accord axels. My Accord was originally non-Vtec, so I needed to wire up three wires to the Prelude ECU. I also used the F22 harness for the engine wiring. Another thing, the H22 has an external ignition coil, so I had rig the internal coil distributor to be compatible w/ the external ignition coil. I think 93 and up Accords have external coils. Hmmmmm.....what else?.......Oh yeah, and important thing.....vaccum lines. Very imortant to be connected properly or else you'll have eradic idling and such. Just a suggestion, change the water pump and timing belt
on the H22 while outside the car. It's so much easier to do than inside. Power steering, the Accord power steering line will not fit the prelude power steering pump. I never put the power steering back on my car, so I wouldn't be much help there. Please remember that all this info is just from my installation into my 90 Accord. That's all I can think of for now. I have some pictures I think. Hope this helped .....at least a bit. Good luck.
