He said if he threw it into a "dc2 shell", which means it has no motor currently

but yeah if its an OBD1 you shouldnt have many wiring or compatability issues

and as far as downgrading goes just get the 96-2001 ls cams and you will be right where you want to be as far as power goes

those cams will make that big of a difference? and yes its from a 92 da integra.

so i heard the mount smay have to be switched around but what about the wiring? since its obd1 then it will all just plug up fine?

yeah it will just be plug and play and none of the mounts should have to be changed unless the shell had an automatic in it...

and yeah those cams have higher lift longer duration on both intake and exhaust...
You may need to swap over the later model intake manifold as well but I would just get a blox or skunk2 intake manifold instead of worrying about that

drivers side engine mount and tranny mounts will have be swapped out correct? and axles too, which i already have. should just drop in with minimal eletronics involved (besides just plugging up ecu and wires) correct?
