Or you can get a F23 Bottom end with H22 top end throw some pistons and rods in there and turbo it. F23 is cast iron sleeved from the factory and can u can 14 psi through it all day man. GO big man. Good luck bro

The H2B kits cost around $1500. Your still going to need an engine, ecu, B-series trans, B-series axles, B-series mounts, B-series starter, B-series slave cylinder, B-series clutch, modified H header and whatever I'm forgetting. It's a pretty cool setup but I just don't think it's that cost effective when you can get all of the above mentioned parts WITH a complete B series swap, all coming from the same exact car, knowing it all works and be able to make 300+whp on pump gas all day long with a turbocharged B16, B18C, B18B etc.

And as far as "running 14 psi through it all day", what exactly do you mean? An engine doesn't know what 14 psi is. It just knows what cylinder pressure is. Manifold pressure is irrelevant when your not giving a turbo size. 14 psi from a T25 is not the same as 14 psi from a T67.

Sounds like your just spouting out random internet heresay that you read or that "your boy" told you. My reasoning all comes from real world experience.
