D16Z6 swap into the 4g4d

[bambam89lx]

I finally made my decision. I wanna drop the 92-95 sohc vtec motor into my 89 lx. After much thinking, I decided on the d16z6 over any of the b-series motors because I don't wanna deal with the problems. I just want a clean swap with minimal modifications. Plus, how many vtec 4g4d's do you see today? basically none. I can't wait to spank everyone when I'm pulling close to 50 horsies in my 4g4d. bwa hahahah ahah ah ahha! (I mean after I add exhaust/header/intake)
But the problem is, I don't know where to find one. I know I can't be the only one asking this question....I've looked on ebay and I've searched the web far and high....still no motor. It's not like I'm looking for a real cheap motor and I'm finding all these expensive ones or something....I'm not finding any at all. They're really cheap any way. approx. 400-700$ US depending on what comes with the motor (tranny, dizzy, vtec solenoid, ecu, intake manifold, exhaust manifold, etc.) I can put it in myself too. It shouldn't be that hard. My friend works in a boat yard and he has lifts for heavy shit everywhere. Plus he's got a 91 dx that he's hooking up so he doesn't mind helping me out.
Anyways, does anyone know who, or where, or what site I can find these motors from? Remember it's the 92-95 ex/si sohc vtec motor.
Thanks

you check out your local wrecking yards? thats one of the best places to look....

that is a good idea...the junk yard car (90 LX sedan) I pulled my cruise control off of had a 92-95 Civic motor in it. a d15z1, so I have seen a 4g4d with vtec - that is the e-vtec so it isn't really vtec tho

But you can prolly get one pulled at a junkyard for cheap.
