and there's a write-up/how-to in the FAQ

 

we should start a tally on how many noobs ask about swapping an engine that has been swapped for the last 20 years. If you are on the list then you get things taken from you.

lol, that pretty funny

 

Then again, I think the situation might be a little different with this guy. According to his signature, he is from New Zealand. Because this is basically an American site, the terminology that is used there is likely going to be somewhat different than what is generally used here. Notice, for example, that he asks about swapping a DOHC SI to a B16A. We call the stck motor he has motor a ZC here. And, because this is likely a foreign term, he would never know to search for 'ZC'. And even if he did, not much would come up. FEW people swap from ZC to B16A around here. He would also not likely know that the mounts are the same as in USDM CRXs, or that a mount kit is needed because a search for DOHC SI would certainly not bring up a car that has a ZC stock. Rather, it would probably bring up a swap in a USDM SOHC SI to a DOHC motor like a B16A. And this guy pobably doesn't know this is basically the same swap.
