Sure is.............i got mine with 2 trannys for 150.

 

If you look online you can pick one up with 40,000 miles on it for 600.

Now that is a super-rip; I payed 400 for Motor, Transmission, spair head, two ecus and I still feel I got jipped a little.

 

$400..you can pretty much get a dohc zc.

400$ is about 300$ too much

 

&lt;---- 2 motors 2 trannies $250

If you can show my a legit shop in Florida selling DOHC ZCs for $400, I'll believe it. But until then, my side of the country does not have those deals.

Well save another $200 or so and get a ZC..or maybe a D16Z6....or find another D16A6 for $400 with everything, tranny and lower mileage.

Sorry if I draw the line for spending $600 for a motor such as the ZC, I'll keep my A6 and spend the extra $200 toward internals. I'll spend $600 though if it came with the transmission and it had the optional LSD.

ok my friend got a complete z6 swap minus ecu for 200 with 100k on it...

 

400's way too much man. especially with 188k on it. even with less than 100k it'll still be too much.

 

I paid $500CDN for a D16A6 in a rear ended complete car

Hmm, that's a bit too much. I only paid $175 for mine with tranny. Plus with that many miles, your going to have to be paying the extra cost for the rebuild. In my opinion, I would get a D16z6 or find anotehr D16a6 in the $150 range.

I got a complete LS swap for $400

 

thanks for all the replys and thoughts, i thought it was but just had too make sure thanks Toren

 

&lt;----- D16Y8=$450 oh and the rest of the car too....no rust MPFI Done etc etc etc

EDIT THIS CAR IS NOT FOR SALE!!! I was just letting the original poster know that the engines and cars can be found for much less

damn now i feel like i'm getting ripped off hard core.

I'm more or less eing forced into buying a D16a6 with only the wiring harness (no tranny, no flywheel) for $500 in a month

that is unless someone wants to sell me one

Woo-hoooo! $200 towards internals! Good luck with that...and good luck with finding the extremely rare ZC tranny w/LSD. Your statement wasn't a very good one.

Some people ask "why get the dohc zc?". Well, if you look at it the way I do, you'd probably agree with me. For $500 I can get a dual cam honda motor with under 50k miles and have about 20 more HP (over a d16a6). I'd gladly spend $500 for that.

****, there's a lot of people that still don't understand that value for some reason. Usually, these are the same people that spend $400 for just a header. Hmmm...$400 for a header which will add a couple HP, or save an extra $100 for a motor with 20 more HP and has under 50k miles most of the time. The answer is obvious for anybody that isn't ignorant. This is why people get the ZC.

Nuff said.
