I'm sure plenty of people have done this swap in the past. It's literally just an ordinary d series but with with a dual cam head.

keep an eye on ebay they pop up all the time. you can even spend a little more and get factory LSD. but you can always use a normal D series transmission as long as you use a 92-00 d series flywheel and clutch.

i say go for the single zc instead, i had a 92 hatch with a zc n its was hot, eat up duals all day beside the b18c1 they hot but you can hang with em, the dual zc and single are about the same horses just the single is light.

I have a sohc zc in my ef si hatch with the si trans same ecu and it has plenty of umpff sohc zc's are not as abundant as they were years back on eb ay but dohc are.
I have installed an dohc zc in an eg sedan and its plug and plug just remember to get an obd-1 zc or if obd-0 then you will need the zc obd-1 intake and zc obd-1 dizz. I used a obd-1 pr4 to run it but the appropriate one to use the p29.
I am just putting the finishing touches on another dohc zc in my eg hatch (came with a bad water pump and did not know this until I had installed the motor) pm if you do get one and have questions.
