H22 LB to F22 trans?

ok, I was reading a page on swaps and it was saying the H22 could bolt to my tranny (97 accord LX). is this true? because @ 80 right now im only at about 3k and I heard in a 92-96 prelude VTEC @ 80 its a bit above 4k.

anyways I know the shorter gearing makes it a bit quicker, but how much?

also will it use alot more gas on the freeway sitting at ~3800 instead of ~2600?

and is it much worse for the engine to to be at 4k over long periods of time than it would be at 3k?

also what size tires are on a prelude? I know my accords are taller than my civic.

It is true that the h22 tranny requires higher revs for the speed compared to the f22. I plan on doing an auto->manual swap with a h225spd. As for while you're on the highway that's what they make 5th gear for. While 4k isn't bad at all as far as short gearing is concerned I don't think it will be that much in 5th.

yes it is about 4k in 5th on the highway going about 80

what, you dont think Id use 5th gear on the freeway? :lol:

and i never thought that the familys were inetrchangible but read this is possible and if it is I will just get the LB for 1k and then find a harness and computer.
