if that cx has a d15b8 8 valve engine dont use anything from it. swap the complete z6... if your brother wont give you the head, your better off with a non vtec head than the one you have. but this is only relivant if it is a d15b8

Well zero not to be a jerk but you are wrong, if done correctly you can yeild more horsepower from a mini-me swap than just doing a full swap do to the increase in compression. check this website for info
http://crx.honda-perf.org/articles/z6swap/z6swap.html
walks you through the full swap.

i understand that, but if its the 8 valve head he is putting on... the z6 has a 16 valve engine. not to mention the z6 has larger valves.
read his post and you will see he is doing the oppostie of a mini me, by using a 1.6 bottom end and a head designed for fuel economy.

dont use a 8 valve block unless u put 16 valve pistons in it..with a 16v head swap. if u dont u will have pistons with only 2 valve reliefs per cylinder when the head calls for 4 per cyl.

"can i use the head and manifolds off that (the 'that' here refers to the z6) on my CX motor?"
