These are two options I have before me: I might be able to purchase a running 92 Integra GS parts car (hit in the ***) for cheap. 137k on the odo, five speed, nice interior, worthwhile in my opinion.

So...is this going to be worth the while vs doing a ZC swap? I've managed to find some mounts at a decent price, and I do have the advantage of having the entire car to pillage for parts. Is the B-series going to be that much more difficult than the ZC swap? Of course, a jap-junkyard ZC with sub-40k has the advantage of having less mileage, but I'm just trying to get a clear picture of what I'm getting myself into.

Opinions?

 

are you saying its Integra vs. ZC swap?

 

If you can get the mounts at a good price (that's usually where you get reamed with B-series/4G swaps), and you can get the axles, shift linkage, wiring, ECU, etc. from the parts car, then I'd say go with the LS. But ZC's are just sooooo easy... and a lot cheaper.

 

it all comes down to pockets and what your lookin for out of it

Daily Driver/Good Mileage - go with the zc/z6

Racing/Bad Mileage - go with the b18

 

How do YOU define "bad mileage?" 28+? Do you drive an Insight or something?

 

thats what i was wondering.

 

i was emphasizing on the better mileage of the zc

 

I can relate to that.
