SOHC buildup need some ideas....
Finally decided to just build up the old SOHC EX motor in my civic. I need some help from all the tech heads here. My basic idea is to do a mini me type swap here...DX block meets EX head. I want to rebuild the head with all Skunk2 parts, but I am not sure about bottom end. I want to turn about 10k+ rpms and its gonna be turbocharged eventually but basic NA is what I am looking at for the time being. Its definately going to be sprayed with a little bit of the good ole laughin gas of course. How about you guys give me some input. Keep in mind that this is going to be a daily driver and run off pump gas. I am also tryin to figure out if JUN makes their 4-speed slapshift tranny for a D-series motor but if not its gonna have a Dragonfire torque convertor on it. Yes its an auto but by god when I am done it wont drive like one. Wondering if anyone can help me out here...lets see what you can come up with.

Forgive me for being blunt...But your expectations sound a bit unrealistic.
You want to do a mini-me, but you already have a d16z6/y8? Why?!
Just check out www.dseries.org.

ok forgive me. maybe i am confusing myself. i always thought a mini me swap was basically the DX block with the EX vtec head on it. looks like i was wrong. forget the whole mini me swap...i have the DX block and EX head already (full EX motor in car). main reason being i have always heard that the DX bottom end is better. might be wrong there. but thanks for the help so far. hope that cleared everything up.
