Ok. I have this nice 91 Civic SI hatch. (stock). I want to swap in a DOHC but i dont want a ZC. I am no stranger to mechanics in general but i would like to know what swap would be the most efficiant. I was raised in a "hot rod" lifestyle and im recently getting into tunners.
What do i need for this SI hatch?
My brother is hollywoodtuck. www.hollywoodtuck.com
I will have my own shop in 2 years and i plan on focusing on tunners. this will be my first project. Thanks!

Yep... Well easiest other than the ZC ofcourse...
With any B series, youd need mounts, a cable tranny (hydro is possible but harder and more expensive), shift linkage, ECU, axles, engine... Just to name a few things...

I know, but the B is a somewhat hard, and pricy engine to install... The ZC is very easy to install... And generally cheap cuz u can reuse most of your current parts... Just wanted to stress that point to him... But yes, the B18A is def the next easiest DOHC swap... And it does have alot more potential than the ZC...
