D15b swap questions
so I'm thinking about picking up a JDM d15b with a y8 Head and z6 tranny for $300.
would it be better with that y8 head or should I get a z6 head instead? any ideas?
I also found a z6 longblock for $180, should I pick up the longblock or the d15 swap?
Im going to be swapping it into my hatch, just need a motor that wont let me down.
suggestions?

Re: D15b swap questions
All of those are options that may or may not work, but doesnt really mean **** without any more details.
-Who did the work?
-How many miles are on these engines/ transmissions?
-Who drove them, and for what kind of application?
-What are your goals with this car?
My suggestion is to buy a known good swap from a reputible seller, throw it together with quality parts and fluids, and pray for the best. Good luck...
