Thank tou guys.
I am starting to wonder should I buy the car.
The main thing that stops me is the automatic transmisiion.

Thank you again.

but he's asking about the dohc zc not the sohc zc. look at his pic. as i said before in his other thread, you can make a sohc zc vtec. but a sohc zc vtec coming from the factory, i don't know about. maybe there is but i never seen one around here, or maybe it is very rare. the only ones i've seen are the ones that a couple of my buddies built. d16z6 head w/ a sohc zc block
