Just wondering where you guys source your d16z6/y8's. Shops, Yards, friends ... ? What do you guys look for when looking at used engines? Any tips?

Thanks in Advance.

 

first, I would try the classifieds on hondatech.

http://www.car-parts.com I check that website first.

 

salvage yards mostly theres a place near me that has 10+ z6/y8's all with under 50k for around 4-700 thats with tranny. Pretty damn good deal if u ask me

 

i've got a Y8 engine in my garage with 40k miles on it...along with 88dx cable tranny (clutch/PP) Only missing vtec solenoid and a sensor or 2 on the manifold.

Let me know i will let it go cheap i just swapped in a fully built y8!

Wow, that's cheap! You certainly can't find those sorts of deals in California. When I did my buddy's Z6 swap a couple of months ago, I could not find anything close to that. Swaps complete with transmission go for around $1300-$1400. And the best we could find was an incomplete longblock with no ECU for $600. I should also note that the motor was not in the best condition. Perhaps this is why Californians generally don't do D-series. B-series motors don't cost much more and represent a better bang for the buck here. For instance, I recently bought for $1000 a GSR motor that is in FAR better condition than my buddy's Z6.

 

I dunno if i agree with that.. everytime i find a good deal on a sohc vtec, i wish i were in CALI because thats usually where they are

if you can find a full z6/y8 COMPLETE head/block with all sensors/hoses unstripped for $100 then i would buy them all up and make some money reselling them! I'll buy another for $100 just to mess with! You're nuts!
