I actualy think I would be going from a 76HP D15a2 to a 109HP D16a6. I could be wrong.....

Like you said, I got hosed! My ignorance and a shifty character who told me it was a D16a1. He said it was the same thing and I didn't know any better.

I found a thread on redpepperracing with lots of pics where a guy had done everything I would need to do just to mount this motor. It's not pretty! It's doable, but requires alot of cutting and welding just to manufacture the mounts. The very thing I want to avoid!!!

Any way, I was hoping I could make it work but think your saving me alot of time and money. I'm sure I'll find someone who could use a rebuilt D16a6.

There are several Importers here in NE Florida and I'll go with an integra D16a1, unless I find a steal on a donor car that would make this motor work.

Considering I'm swaping from a carbed 87civic what are the advantages & disadvantages between the '86-'87 USDM D16A1 and the JDM D16A1-ZC?
