Default RACEPAK'S B16 WAGON BUILD....

hey guys,

so i just got myself a 2x4 89' civic wagon its the only wagon in my contry

it dosnt have any major rust on it, except for some surface rust on the outer shell.

its original engine was a d15b2 and it was replaced to a jdm ZC

i also have a B16A engine with a S1 cable tranny from a SI-R that i had sitting for a long time that i want to swap into the wagon,
the engine is gonna be rebuilt with all new parts with slightly higher compression and new cams.

-the car needs some body work and paint and i need to order some parts from the us that i cant find here in my country.

the parts i need are:
front windshield
left and right corner taillights
engine and tranny mounts for the b16
*clutch cable
speedo cable

stuff i dont know yet

hood WILL a 4dr ef hood or headlights fit to the wagon ? (sorry for the dumb q)

door and ignition switches (since the last owner lost the keys i had to break into the car to tow it)
again, are 4dr ef switches will work?

will 4dr ef brake lines fit the wagon?

axles? which axles do i need?

i will upload more pics of the engine later.
















where can i get that plastic mold?


look, they made a pvc window :S



thanks

Cool project! I'm guessing from the bumper stickers that you're in Israel?

thanks bisi, its moshik galimidi from israel,

before the wagon was mine i had dreams about swapping my d16 with your 3.6 and make a replica of your car, but i decided to keep the D16 in the ek and go with a mild NA for the wagon.

man there's a lot of metal shavings in the crankcase and oil galleys...
sure you can clean it, hot tank it, whatever, but that's not a guarantee and it doesn't take much to fubar your motor.
taping everything up would have at least helped.
