How much should a full d16z6 swap cost? I can get one for 600, and was wondering if that was a good deal.

 

yea z6 can sometimes be hard to find, hop on that deal

 

i would say that is a bit much unless it comes with EVERYTHING and is in really good condition. i have bought several sohc vtec motors for 300 and under

 

better have came with tranny ,ecu and stuff.

 

I got just the z6 engine for $430 it had 112xxxmi on it from a local junk yard?
by the way anyone got a good si tranny for sale?

 

you can get a D16z6 for well under 400 if u actually take the time to look. i got mine from a guy that got his car vandalized so he parted it out. got myself a d16z6 for 225 With a CRx SI tranny..i also added a 88 crx si tranny to that....aint that a deal or what!?

 

i would definetely get the Z6. go for it!

 

An important thing to keep in mind is that price is largely dependent on region. Some places are cheaper than others. A good price for Hawaii or the West Coast might be grossly overpriced on the East Coast or Midwest (where demand for Honda stuff is generally lower). So if $600 seems to be the lowest price you can find, ****** it up. Don't pass it up because someone who lives where these motors are MUCH cheaper says it is a bad deal.

 

I paid $150 for mine, and I got a y8 intake manifold thrown in for free. It's good to have friends that run junkyards. I love my Z6 also btw, great little engine. Use storminmatt's info and make your own harness and save lots of money too.

 

I just picked up w/ a P/S pump from the same cae for $250.

 

I picked up mine complete with intake manifold, good axles, and tranny for $300.
The previous owner pulled it out for an H22 swap. Sold the tranny, head, and intake manifold for a total of $350, gave the axles away for free, and bought a Y8 head for $75!

The bottom end needed a rebuild so it's not like I got a GREAT deal, but it was damn good anyway..... basically free!

Look for deals.
