    no mounts...u will have to figure out the hydrolic clutch and shifter cable set up
    in my opinion a 140hp engine is not worth the swap...u can get that much off the
    stock engine with a port and polish, headers,cam and intake

    as a F owner i agree... for the time and money spent to swap in the motor you coulda swaped in something else with much better power, if your gonna F swap why not H swap instead

    indeed. H or B18c is the way to go if you want to swap. and like Messy said, with P&P and few other moods, OBD1 maybe you can tune A20 to 140-150Hp. with less money it takes to swap any of those engines.

    Its prttey fnuny how you can raed tihs eintre snetnece with all tehse ellters out of palce...

    i guess that makes sense its just that i found the engine for cheap but didnt consider the other things i would have to alter ya its proly a better idea just to work on the a20.

    Re: f22 swap project

    Well they port (enlarge) your intake ports and exhaust ports, thereby enlarged ports on intake side make more air in to the combustion chamber, and larger ports on exhaust side let your engine exhale exhausts easier. Polished combustion chamber prevents carbon buildup and is generally makes easier to breath. This is something you cant do your self, better let professionals do this. as when done poorly you lose more power than gain.
    Another thing you can do is port much B16 intake manifold with 60-65mm Trotle body .short(TB)
    if you wont fine tuning, you can also port much Header Flange to the head ports and Gasket. This will give you more smooth power bond.
    and with those moods and OBD1 swap and good ignition tuning will give you aprox 150-160@wheels I bet.

    hope this helps

    yeah you have to find a machinest that will port the head...and if you have some one flow bench it to have equal flow on all 4 ports
