Block question
 

I did SOME searching, i'm not going to lie I didnt do to much but I spun a rod bearing this weekend. :7 My question is, I have a d16z6 and I was wanting to know if any other blocks would bolt to the d16 head? Would a non vtec block work?

Re: Block question
 

Wow...

Yes any almost any other D block will work.

K thanks. I'm still a n00b at this whole honda swaping stuff. I'm coming from Toyota's and Conquest's :)

Re: Block question
 

after buying the heag gasket/intake mani gasket and all the work, it would be cheaper to just buy a complete motor

Re: Block question
 

Yeah I'm kind of finding this out :P I found a complete d16z6 for 400 bucks, and I found a shortblock for 300 lol. ---- that. Anyone wanna trade a conquest for a complete swap? :) The conquest has a broken rod as well heh.

Re: Block question
 

dude you got robbed.
d-series blocks are CHEAP.
i found a used shortblock for 50 bucks.
rehone and hottank and its good as new.
around the same for a decient a6 head.

Re: Block question
 

Actually I found a great deal. I found a d16 non vtec shortblock for 75 bucks, but when I went up there the guy said if I buy it as a complete he'll throw in a complete d15 lol. So I did. I got two motors for 200 bucks. The d15 has a tranny, intake, exhaust mani, alt, start, and some other ---- lol. So I think I might try and do something with it for a little bit. Maybe see if I can't fab up a HMTkit ;)

alot of d16 blocks are the same, its all in the head. i found a y8 short block for $150 and sold it for $300 to some ricer kid down the street ;D

Re: Block question
 

My roommate just got a d16z6 block shipped to him for $250.

Re: Block question
 

i always go to either a junkyard, or ricer shop.
at the ricer shops you can usually find non v-tach goods for dirt cheap.
d-series ---- goes cheap as well.
ricers only care about 2 things in their motor.
1. V-TACH
2. B-series motors
therefore the goods that they no longer want become become affordable parts for you and i.
