I don't know anything about builds.
But my opinion is buy an engine with lower miles. Perhaps another transmission too, if its lurchy and dying.

Do more research. Mini me build refers to putting a vtec head on a non vtec block. You already have a d16y8, which is a vtec motor.

Why do you think you need to rebuild it?

I don't think he means a mini me. I think he means just a mild build.
