Well yes it'll fit and everything but i'd rather use crx/civic si tranny since its cable. Too much work to get it converted to hydro. U can use ur existing axles. If you have dpfi u have to convert it to mpfi. check out this site on how to http://www.4thgenerationcivic.com/how-to's/performance_upgrades.htm and heres more info about the swap..

I wouldn't pay more than 500 for it.

[alky350]

for that same amount i could get a ZC right....what would you get?

[mellowboy]

i'd just get the d16y8 cause theres more aftermarket parts for it.
