I have two questions. First i have a 90 civic 4 door, and was wondering what engine to swap into it. b16 or zc. I dont want to spend alot of time on the swap so the zc seems nice bc it is cheap and drops right in. My main concern is when something breaks, what parts do i use to fix. Is it the same a the d16 or what. Please give em your opinions, i dont just want power; i want drivability.

 

The easiest and cheapest swap would be the ZC. here's a link with alot of good info as well as parts that interchange

dude don't be worried about "not being able to find parts". i've had my ZC for over 4 years now, and i've NEVER had a problem replacing anything. and believe me, i've replaced a lot. it's mostly stock **** you'll use to replace stuff.

HTH

 

ever think about a sohc vtec ?
