honda dealerships dont like it when you do that. you have to hide the fact that you have a motor swap. the answer will always be 'i cant get that'. unless you trick them and just say 'i have a 94 del sol vtec, i need a VSS'. at least thats how my dealership is.

This would illicit a blank stare from someone at an autoparts store such as Autozone or Pep Boys, and most dealerships aren't much better. They only know what their computer tells them. Tell them you have a Del Sol Vtec. I told a Guy at Auto Zone once that I needed a part for a Del SOl Vtec and when he started asking questions about the car, I told him that it was just the motor that I had put in a Civic. He didn't believe me until I showed him, then he was just amazed that you could do something like that.

Yeah, try going into a car parts store and ordering parts for 5 different cars just to get your car all back going. The looks you get are amazing.
