where to buy?

[revized_DX]

got a little bit of money from some work i did and i want to start looking into buying another motor for the hatch. curious to see if yall can point me in the right direction as to where i can go and purchase a decent motor for not a large chunk taken out of my ass! looking for a d series...will go vtec if thats what i find.

are there any local or "near by" places i can pick up a good engine that hasnt been raped or simply mistreated? will travel to another state if price is right but if yall can turn me on to some places to contact it would help out alot and appreciation and reps included!

thanks in advance!

You won't find too many D-series engines at any importer. I would just post a WTB ad here on IA, lots of people have them lying around after upgrading.

[JDMJAYDC2]

pm me what you are looking for and i can point you in the right direction i can get you a zc at a decent price

Ignore the ZC and it's lack of aftermarket. The D has much more of a knowledge-base.

Go w/ the z6 or y8.

i agree d16y8 all the way or you can do a SOHC zc its almost the same as a d series

[jfrolang]

I would not use a D16Y8 bottom end if I could help it. They have poor oiling. The ideal mini me (imo) is an A6/Z6.

BTW, a SOHC ZC isn't almost the same as a D-series, it IS the same as a D-series.

^^^ if we are talking hybrids --- then I say

z6 bottom w/ a y8 head. Sex in a pan.

[jfrolang]

I don't see the advantage of a Z6 bottom end, the head is debatable.

An A6 has a steel girdle and higher compression pistons than a Z6.

found a zc with tranny axles im and dc sports 421 for 400 gonna go look at it tonight...im running a z6 bottom end with a NO-tec jdm d15 head(had to do something to get the hatch running) i plan on building it when i get another engine but want to get something someone hasnt tried to race vettes with and be able to depend on it for a minute! going to nads near the end of the week to see what they have to offer.
