Hello,

I am currently looking at a few ZC1 powered CRXes here in sweden. The ones I am looking at all have something wrong with the engine so I want to put a new one in there. Will the newer blacktop ZC engine from the 88-91 CRXes fit with no major modifications? Or should I find another ZC1 engine? I know the newer 88-91 ZC engine only has 10 more hp, but it has loads more torque!

yea, well, sorta...

the black top is electonic distributor so it has different wiring and you would have to use a 86-87 bottom end for it to line up. neither of these motors make the power your true zc does or would. no 88-91 motor is gonna bolt into a 1st gen rex with out major mods.....

Ok.. I'll just find another ZC1 engine then :)

Thanks

i wish you could find me one too... i can get one in toranto Canada used. you can also get a JDM motor that get's pulled at 30-40,000 miles from a importer. they have some crazy emitions law that says to replace the motor to keep up with strict emition enforcement.
