If you already have a z6 that works fine then don't swap it in. A lot of the 92-95 dx, cx, vx owners like to swap them in because they are slightly more powerful than the z6 and they are cheap.

swapping but also sticking with a SOHC theory. Alot of people are more fond of D series motors out there.

I was able to smog my d15b with no problem....but then again, my smog guy didnt bother to look at the motor.

And that is about the only reason. Same configuration, practically the same power, no point unless replacing blown motor.
