OK, I have a limited budget. Certain things have come together to make sure that I have no money, and it could last some time.

The problem? I have a '91 Civic EX with a dead D16A6 motor.

It has a ton of money in the suspension, rear discs, and exhaust work. Fast? No. Fun to drive? Most certainly, YES. I love this car, and I really don't want to sell it. I need a motor, tho.

I had a '91 Civic LX that had a ZC, and I'm looking for another ZC. Looked on eBay, and I cannot find anyone that isn't a motor vendor that is selling them for cheap. They are to be had, but I am mildly internet illiterate and I don't know where to find one. I would LOVE a D16Z6, but those are going the way of the ZC in my book. I just want a motor (cheap) that drops right in (cheap) so I can get my baby back on the road again to be driven.

I sound like I'm begging. Well, I kinda sorta am. I love my car, and she's been parked too long.

I searched, and found nothing. I just want to get my car on the road again. Is she pretty? No. Typical 4G rust on the rear fenders, dents all over... but so much fun to drive it HURTS. I'm sure some of you know what I mean.

So I'm asking... I'm BEGGING... if anyone knows where a D16Z6 or black cover ZC can be had CHEAP I have a low mileage B18B and a Apex'i SAFC that I would be willing to trade and/or give some loot for. I just need a link and I would be eternally grateful.

For those of you that even give a damn...

-2 1/4" stainless exhaust (header, CarSound cat, Flowmaster 70 series)
-Eibach SportLines
-Tokico Blues
-S/T front/rear sway bars
-Energy Suspension susp. bushings
-'91 CRX Si rear trailing arms (disc brake)
-Energy Suspension shifter bushings ( )
-Short shifter
-Velox VX-8R 16"x7" wheels with 215/40-ZR16 tires
-Chipped PM6 ECU
-K&N Typhoon Intake
-Bored throttle body (modified Corvette TB butterfly)
-Centerforce DualFriction pressure plate and disc
-Slotted and drilled (lame, I know) front rotors


I love this car. Do I want to sell it? Eventually. Right now, I want to drive it for the next two years. I have another car, another truck, and a bike, but I don't want to sell them to fund this. I just want to drive my poor car.

I lied... I would sell the car, but no one wants it. Heh.

If anyone can help, I would be eternally grateful (as previously noted).

Sorry about the length.
