Just remember that the CX from the 92-95 model run made only 70hp (8 valve head). The DX/LX motors made 102hp (16 valve head). In a car 200-300lbs. heavier, the thing may seriously be dangerously slow. If the head from the LX motor can be saved or freshened up relatively cheaply, bolt that on instead.

Good point... Granted, anD15B7 should be able to be acquired for $200-300 depending on condition, seller, etc.

Who would race on a beat up 1.5 liter motor? What were you racing, a little girl on a bike with tassles. And a 4 door to boot. I bet you were murdering those 84 ford escorts all day huh.
