Found ZC in Junkyard
 

Alright well I went to a local junkyard yesterday just browsing around and I saw a CRX with an "african-american" paint job like orange with wierd shooting stars and murals and ----. I decided to take a look and in the bay sat a b18a1. No big deal because they are all over the place. But then I see a motor sittin in the back end under the hatch. I pop the hatch and look at the stamp on the block and it says ZC. It is only a SOHC and the valve cover didn't look much different form a d series. Is also has the transmission still bolted up to it. How can I identify what transmission it is? Is there a stamp somewhere on the tranny? Is this worth buying and selling? What could I make off selling a full sohc zc swap? If anyone is interested in buying say so. Thanks.

Does it appear to be in decent shape?

Re: Found ZC in Junkyard
 

I don't mean to sound stupid, but aren't b18's worth more than ZC's?

Re: Found ZC in Junkyard
 

Yeah, but maybe he'll be able to buy the ZC swap cheaper and make some nice $$$

Re: Found ZC in Junkyard
 

The only way I can think of IDing the tranny is that the Axle Splines and Sizes are different the an Si's tranny.

what you smoking up there?????????

DX and Si trannys look exactly the same from the outside except for one little letter...........

they use the same axles..........

Re: Found ZC in Junkyard
 

Ya, but the JDM ZC uses the larger spline from the Integra, and the Si/DX/EX or any USDM D-Series(minus the 86-89 Integra) used the smaller Unequal Shafts and spline. Right? Or did I convert my Equal Length DOHC ZC tranny to Unequal USDM Si Axle when i went to my LSD for nothing?

Look and see if its the LSD one.

Either way, my guess is the junkyard is going to charge you an arm and a leg for it. I personally would focus on stealing pieces of the B-series swap

Re: Found ZC in Junkyard
 

look and see... that was a good one.

Re: Found ZC in Junkyard
 

Well it appears to be in fine shape. Last I heard a complete motor was $150 and a tranny was $100 so like $250 total. On ebay all ZC swaps look about $500-$700? Does that sound accurate.

Re: Found ZC in Junkyard
 

sohc zc's are just a d16a6 w/ a larger cam. I get them for 225 all day long in so cal. A l3 trans is worth 200 on a good day. If your lookin to buy and resell good luck you wont make much but go for it and prove me wrong

Re: Found ZC in Junkyard
 

LOL;who cares about the LS swap;lets go for the SOHC ZC;the motor is in the back of the car for a reason;it might be good;lets just sell it and say its good

Re: Found ZC in Junkyard
 

if all motors are 150 from the place, id take the b18

Re: Found ZC in Junkyard
 

yup; and i bet you can get out with the swap mounts atached;and be in a B-series for cheap
