It should work fine. Just look at the head gaskets and make sure everything lines up.

Serious?? holy krap screw the Zc...lol well Ill keep this in mind...my good friend just wrecked his del sol...and is parting it out to me I kinda want his seats and his AEM cai.

Would his intake manifold(after I switched the fuel injection) and head work fine on my DX??? wow, Ill do that if it will work?

Oh wait it will only fit on a 1.5 vtec block?? well what is the diff. in blocks from non vtec to vtec besides oil lines??

Did they make a SOHC Vtec for the rex at all I really didnt think so but Ive been hearing around perhaps they did?

Yeah, it will work. It is called the mini-me swap. I just saw a turbocharged min-me at a meet I went to this past weekend. Very much a sleeper. As long as you do the mpfi swap and decide whether to run it OBD1 or OBD0 it will work. Now keep in mind that this is the sohc vtec head we are talking about here.

let me just get this straight.

I have a DX. I can get a 1.6 vtec from a 95 del sol, and a 90 SI intake manifold, wiring harness, and ECU. With these things will it work on my 1.5 non-vtec block??? and what is involved?

I want to know cause Ill either do this or ill swap the ZC as planned.
