How about you spend it on suspension? Handling is always fun

Do you want to work with the a6 engine or do you want to swap an engine. For 600 you get yourself a z6. Then transfer your ihe from the a6. Youll be happy.

Mini me is a nice upgrade. If you like taking things apart and putting them back together, I would buy a Helm's manual and search search SEARCH.

Buy a D16Z6 head, D16Y8 manifold, Zex 59300 Camshaft. Your set

You do it the correct way. Buy a P28 (5 speed, Civic EX/SI) ECU and a OBD0-OBD1 Conversion Harness (http://www.jkobd.com).

The D16Y8 head will push the compression way up and the chambers are much smaller. Yeah the D16A6 dizzy won't fit the D16Z6 head w/o slight modifications to the arms. But hey, just skip the frustration and use a D16Z6 Distirbutor.

The D16Z6 manifold is good as well. You'll have a bit more power with those modifications. I suggest you look at this thread
