Engine Swap

RE: Engine Swap
Sorry guys, but you're both wrong about the ZC motors: the DOHC non VTEC came in two generations, the SOHC non VTEC also came in two generations and is comparable to the D16A6, and finally there's the SOHC VTEC, which is NOT the same as a D16Z6.
And as for a K into an EF, that's a mighty expensive project.

please don't dog me I'm new what's the difference between dohc, sohc and vtech I know that vtech is the fast one right

SOHC - Single OverHead Camshaft. This means there is one camshaft with more lobes that controls both the intake and exhaust valves.
VTEC - Variable valve Timing and lift with Electronic Control. A system that allows the intake and exhaust camshaft lobe profiles to change at a certain engine speed to allow for a much higher flow volume both into and out of the engine. A very common misconception is that this is essentially equal to some sort of turbo, but that is definitely not the case. While the changeover point is noticeable, it won't take 2 seconds off your quarter mile.

too add to kappa's post about vtec, it is true with dohc vtec engines although the sohc vtec config only allows for intake lobe profile to change hence the fact its harder to tell when a sohc is in vtec when compared to a dohc. heh my run on sentance [8D]
