should be a sweet build but you do know arp only makes fasteners right? and you do know they are really expensive and if you are looking for a good set of head studs flip has some for cheap i'll post the link to his fs thread later

I don't have A/C. It only gets warm enough up here for that for a month out of the whole year. Are they expensive?
Update: Found a z6 head with a bad block on cl for $120, has only 100k miles on it. It's only missing the IM. Also comes with wiring harness and alternator. I figure I can find a block cheap and start all the head work after Christmas.

ditto on the ebay fogs, they burn out fast.
Anyways, building a D imo is a waste of money. Boost it or swap a B in and do an all motor. How my hp are you trying to make anyways?
bisimoto header = very expensive

ditto on the header. I have chose the d series to start with because i can do anything with them while i have yet to explore b series stuff. i want to have a successful build before i try something that expensive. As far as hp, I dont really know yet.

I just dont want you to get ahead of yourself, building a D is very expensive. The cost to hp ratio is not good. With the amount of money you spend building that D you could have a nicely boosted civic. Just a thought, if you want to build a motor it should b the B. The B and D series motors arent much different either btw.
#118
actually all the d series stuff are compatible with each other
the b" series arent so compatible with each other, for instance
a b18 intake manifold wont fit on a b16 and vice versa or a b20
the b20 block needs modification to make another head fit on it
etc... etc...
and also the Dohc stuff is way more expensive than the sohc stuff
now the B series can take way more of a beating than the D"
the B series has a higher hp/torque outcome than the D
i say build the D series for experience then later look for a swap and buy it, set it aside and build it then when your ready swap it in and sell the built D and then boost the B

I don't need 200hp. I just want to do something I know I can do and learn in the process.
Update: Bought the z6 with the bad block today. It came with wiring harness, alternator, dizzy, vtec solenoid, Intake Manifold (I thought it didnt have this when I talked to the seller) and exhaust manifold. It is only missing the throttle body. Now I need to find a short block like kanarrjl said. I see them come and go for cheap.
Here is a picture of it riding next to me lol
