Ok guys here is my problem. I have a gt mustang yada whatever i love the car i bought it and i like it sitting in the garage. Its more of my car that i wanna keep forever and dont really have to touch. But my big thing is i love honda's probly more then anything. Once this loan is paid off i was going to try to get another one to swap my ef hatch or i was gonna get a eg or da and swap. I love jdm more then anything in the world. But heres where the prob comes in im getting 1300 dollars from school. I need axle shafts for my civic i need a clutch for my civic and i was thinking like i want to swap now but im kinda at a low budget. I dont want to just replace stock parts again i want some power even if its a zc. Someone give me an idea that i have enough money for. I Know me and my cousin will swap the motor and have help with it so thats no problem. Help . Thanks, Dan

 

Why do you want to swap? what condition is the motor that is in your car currently?

 

Not bad but it just lack of power i would want a zc swap or maybe a ls im thinking zc? But where could i get a cheap one h motors has long block? I have 1300 ill drop it in myself I know the d series goes right in im gonna need a new tranny anyways my car is a 4 spd right now.

 

Ok so if you have a 4spd you most likely have the dpfi d15b1 70hp STD model civic. So you will to convert to mpfi to be able to swap in any mpfi motor. I recommend sourcing a d16z6 or d16y8 and converting to OBD1. I like the ZC motors but they are getting harder to find in good condition.

 

Yes you are correct that is what i have converting to obd1 will be no problem its just where do i find the cheap swap and them are the two motors i was thinking of.. Thanks Dan

 

Best bet would be a salvage yard like http://www.importautosalvage.com or http://www.robertsonautosalvage.com

 

I just want more power than i have should i just swap the head and do vtec head ? hmmm
