You would swap a h22 head on the f23 block. Search around there is a bunch of info around. Here are a couple links to get you started:

oh sick thanks! the H22 head will fit right on?

yes indeed. There is some work that needs to be done though. This isn't a simple swap. Read all the links i gave you and you should have a good idea of what is required.

oh damn thats confusing haha im thinking of just port and polishing my f23 head and shed down .050 for better compression and maybe some forged pistons or id do the "G23" they talk about in your links and do the same stuff, but then i have to say bye bye to smog legal hahah

When you start modifying the actual flow of the engine, you leave the realm of what your factory computer can do. If you do up compression and port and polish, you will have to go with a programmable ecu. Then you got to tune the ecu to fully and properly control the engine.

never tune a car unless you know EXACTLY what you're doing

and find a reputable tuner, someone who has loyal customers and tons of great rapport in the area for their tuning capabilities, that makes all the difference in the world
