Default is this a good motor or does it even exist

Im not a tuner guy but i just got a 1990 4 door civic in a trade and i think it would be fun to mess with. the guy told me it had a ZC1 motor out of a 95 civic in it with a cam and a cold air intake
is a ZC1 motor any good or should i swap it with the stock B16 motor he also gave me if so how hard would this be.

No such thing as a ZC1, if its a ZC it will just say ZC on the engine stamp on the front of the block on the passenger side. PS before you get flamed on try searching these terms " ZC, b16 swap into EF, B series swap into EF"

That's up to you to decide. What are your goals, budget? Do you want VTEC?

IMO, I'd take a b16 over a DOHC ZC, but to each his own.

Read the articles in the FAQ, research, and come up with a decision yourself.
