new project...feedback?
so i just bought a 95 civic coupe. it came with a d16z6 sohc vtec. my buddy has a ls swap that hes willing to let go of for 550..complete swap with about 75k.
should i stay with the sohc and build up the internals and boost it?
or should i go with the ls and pretty much work that up?

Or just save $ on the VTEC crap and build & boost.

Normally I would agree, but since he's getting the whole swap for $550 he could get a much better flowing head and cams in there for under $1000 total (including the LS swap). I think it's a good investment.

Buy the LS, send it to be sleeved.
Boost the stock Z6, learn something, blow it up.
Replace with built LS, you're a track star.

and while your driving your boosted ls and pickin up chicks you can build your z6 and turbo THAT too, and find a del sol shell, and put it in there
save the SOHC!!!

Bad ISB.
I have a tranny ready to go back together in my garage, but we never got the snap ring to seat correctly.

<<<< Read my Title and Avatar.
That being said, you should get the LS swap hands down, switch out your transmission for a good one, turbo, get some "**** VTEC" stickers and call it a day.
