Default Mini Me Question

Ok i have a quick question... I have a d16y8 motor sitting out of a car that is really good shape, right now in my car i have a d15b7 non-vtec... Should i just swap the whole motor or do a mini me?

What do you guys think i should do?

I'm not sure the head would even fit a D15, but even if it did why would you sacrifice the extra displacement?

Sell your D15 for scrap metal money, and buy a D16 tranny... <TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Otherguy92 &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">Well i just have a long block, no tranny... so i dunno</TD></TR></TABLE>
