Default d16zc swap

I checked the search, but couldnt find any specifics on swapping this motor into a 92cx. What will I need (parts) and what special labor will I need to do. Thanks.

Don't do it. . .I have a 93 CX, and I was considering swapping the 92-95 EX/SI engine, but then I realized that once I get this engine, I will always want a DOHC. Just save for the B series. Just my two cents. . .some people on this board will tell you to go for it. . .it is definitely possible to make a SOHC super fast!

Go B-series not that much more and i know a handfull of people who were unhappy with there swap, plus after all the work you will spend putting it in why not spend the extra 500-700 for a b-series

This is going into a group2 rally car, the only other choice I have for an engine really is the B16a2, and I cant afford that now. My current motor is shot, and I need a cheap replacement. Power isnt too big on my list of things to do, 120-140hp will do just fine.

IMO, I would get the ZC but also consider looking into a light flywheel......god those make a difference. Since you will have the engine out anyway.
