I was thinking an H22A because I could get it delivered to my door, and then worry about dropping it in...

Tell me more about this near 300hp NA engine

Basically, it works like an LS/VTEC or a b20 motor with a b16 head. The H23 is the non-VTEC motor for the '92 to '97 Prelude. It has a higher displacement than the H22, obviously. You can swap the head so that you'll have the best of both worlds, the higher displacement of the H23, and the better breathing of VTEC.

B20 motors have been known to pruduce up to 240HP NA. You could just imagine what an extra .3 liters of displacement can produce.

I see what you mean... Is there anyone running stroker Hondas? That would make the engine slightly less rev happy, but it would still see 7000rpm easily enough, and have much better low end torque.

No replacement for displacement. Now at this point someone is going to say "turbochargers!" or "nitrous!". Guess what, put those on a bigger engine, you'll see better results .

So what's the biggest Honda 4 cylinder? I would supposed the H23...

[carrrnuttt]

Currently, The biggest Honda four is the K24 in the New CR-Vs. Those can be topped-off with a K20A2's head from the RSX-S.

The H22/H23 can be stroked too. Custom, but possible.

So how much can they be stroked? Since they're so oversquare, I assume there are some pretty big gains to be had.

I want to avoid any brand new stuff, like the K series... way too expensive for this project.
