ok so lastnight i drove 4 hours to minnesota to pick up a full DOHC ZC swap and im planning to put it in my 90 civic. the motor has been honed and new piston rings. it came with the harness, pm6 ecu, crx si tranny, and harness. but when i get there the block says D16a1.? i kno its like a "usdm ZC" but will it even fit into my ef hatch? please help. or tell me what i need to do to make it work.
ive searched.

thanks

and i know alot of people that have experence fabricating things. but think i got ripped off for the 400$ i paid. i mean i drove 300miles to get it and i wasnt leaving without a motor. it woulda been a waste of gas. the motor have been honed and new rings. so it should run fresh.

 

anyone know where i can find a cheap dohc zc or a dohc zc cam gear side engine mount.? im sure that should work for putting the d16a1 in my ef. or a place where i could make my money back on it.

this is the end of the D16A1 - notice right beside the water pump that there are no bolt holes for attaching the mount - the bolts sticking out of the block on the left side of the picture are where the D16A1 mount bolts on

 

USDM D16A1 worst engine ever.

JDM or CDM ZC one of the best engines ever.

Word to the foolish! Always buy your "ZC" engines from an importer to avoid this problem that many people get scammed on!
