what would happen if I bolted a B20A head to my A20A3 block? I have access to the B20 engine,but is has lower end problems. thought maybe I could at least benefit from the head,dual cams,etc. would this work? what distributer do I use?any thoughts?

Then you would get a non functioning engine... And there are several reasons for that.
i have a feeling theres allready 10 threads about people wanting to do this and it not working/fitting/worth it
i think there is more then 10Originally Posted by wohdog

LX-R coming soon Here's a hint. 89mm stroke/ 41.60cc head /ARP head & main stud's /SRP piston's 81.5mm 9:5:1/Crower Rod's & more to come
can you get the b20a1 or is the the prelude engine? anways if it had lower end probs i would just rebuild it and drop it in.

read that until your eyes bleed
not even posible just think DOHC SOHC think about the difference DOHC SOHC now repeat in your head again and again
the h22/23 heads bolt on to the f22/23 blocks and are quite potent setups, especially for turbo. so it is possible, just not in the 3g.Originally Posted by coope
unlkess you pay someone $999999 to make a custom dohc head for the a20

ok guys, thanks for slapping me to my senses........didn't realize there was a thread out there already...........gues I should stick to what I know ha=ow to do for mods and forget "short-cuts"....guess it isn't possible to pick up HP w/ any quickie changes.......scrap the DOHC add-on......didn't really want to get into a whole rebuild, but the B20A sounds like it might be a stout project,no?
