thanks guys. the zc came out. the engine that went in was the first picture. its a d16a6 block (si) and a 97 civic ex vtec head. basically the ls/vtec of dseries engines. stage 4 port and pollish and 3 angle valve job...i also had a shop port out my turbo manifold, hopefully i'll find a few more ponys there. I am going extreemly conservitive (6psi or less) with this engine. although it was fun blowing up a 2000 motor in one day of turbo fun my budget doesn't quite allow that to happen on a regular basis.
I'll have some pictures up soon of my rear disk brake swap too......back to working on the car...
