You could go for a DOHC zc which is much like the D16a1 but more horse power and bolts up perfectly. You might have lucked out with the EF chassis...lighter frame at least! _____________________________ DOHC ZC (dead) SOHC ZC FTW!• K&N CAI filter • 90 Integra LS rear disc conversion (in reply to nastyegb18) Post #: 4
