F20B, from JDM CF4 Accord SiR, is the destroke version of H22. For your swap, it would be the same as getting any H series swap.

More info here.

i'm a pure newb and i was wondering how do you find out what model engines would be able to fit into the car of your choice. If someone could help me out that would be great.

evolution industries sells a h/f2b/d swap kit. meaning you can run your f or h series motor with a d or b series tranny. there's a guy on h-t doing a f20b swap with a hybrid d series tranny in the hybrid forum. this swap is much cheaper than a k swap and is arguably better than a b swap.

the question is: how deep is your pocket?

any engine can fit into your car... it just takes lots of labour/time and those equal $$$ unless you have all the skills and time to do everything yourself...

the most common swap are normally the b16/b18/b20
the newest swap are k20/k24 (most costly)
the best bang for buck swap are h22
