I've got love for the EF's
This build is a 89 DX hatch, owned by KraziCivicSi of 1320.
He's doing the body and interior work while I get the motor together and ready for the install. The entire car is being redone.
The build will be a DPFI to MPFI swap with a "mild" B16.
I'll be adding pics as we go along.
Stay tuned
EDIT-Removed all my pics for now...3 months and I still haven't received all the parts to finish this motor.

I should have taken a before pic of the walls. They had a pretty solid coat of rust 1/2 way down to the piston. All 4 are fairly smooth right now, I am going to pick up some finer paper and finish it up Sat.

Here's a picture before you got too started on the cyls.

Got that hideous black primer job off. The idiot who had the car before me "primer'd" the car and didnt even sand the damn thing 1st. Some spots had runs so bad i had to sand to bare metal. Sun damage, paint chips, you name it.
I got most if not all of it out for the most part.
