engine selection help

[pretty_ricky302]

ok i got alot of quotes today to replace my f22a6 they all were around 400 and up with drop off to the shop thats puttin it in.

what should i look for in the engine i goin to replace and what should i replace when i get the engine just to be safe?

also a guy has a prelude f22a6 is this the same engine or a little different

o ya cost to put it in is 300

so total would be around 750 with the tow of my car and my step pop goin to pay half of the total so i guess im ok thank god, i just want to drive its nice out and im in the house feelin like a bum

Preludes never came with F22A6's. 4th gens only had the F22A1, H23A1, or H22A1. 5th gens came with the H22A4. Just to let you know

Who's quoting you these F22 prices? I'd just try and find a nice A1 longblock for a couple hundred. Swap in your cam and put on our intake and exhaust manifolds and you're set for less than $400. As far as the install price that's pretty good if they're a reputable shop that does good work. You'll want to do your timing assembly while it's out and install a balance shaft seal retainer if it hasn't been done already. A rear main seal and oil pan gasket wouldn't hurt either.
