Default How hard

I drive a 85 CRX Si, I want to swap DOHC ZC. I would like to know how difficult this swap is, and what all I will need to purchase other than the motor. Thanks for the help.

Though you may not even consider my idea, thats fine. You should save up, sell the CRX, buy something a bit newer, than swap something more along the lines of a B16 or b18 or even H series. You'll be a lot happier, compared to a ZC .

If not, ZC swaps are very simple. But I dont know what all you will need.

Should be able to use the stock mounts. If it's anything like a ZC into a 88-91 CRX you should have no problem. Why not a B16 though? That engine is crazy in that year car.
