I recently came across a dirt cheap h23 swap for my accord. It skipped timing, but i think the head is ok. If its not i will just do an h22 head, but if its good id like to stick with fixed valve timing. Now, assuming i dont want to spend alot on this build, what do you guys think i can make power wise.

The motor will be getting a full rebuild just due to the mileage that it has. Obviously this will involve a .020 overbore, new bearings, all gaskets/seals, and any other parts that are worn out of spec.

So far my basic list includes:
ARP rod bolts
ARP main bolts
ARP head studs
.020 overbore.

What else do you guys suggest for making power. I will probably be looking into a pair of cams with springs and retainers, as well as a lighter flywheel.

Before anyone says just boost the f22, heres the deal. I can spend the 1100 on boosting my 175k mile f22, of spend the less than 1100 on rebuilding the h23, and have a motor that will last me much longer while i go through the build of my f22 on the side.
