UPDATE 3/08/2008
Okay im gonna explain what's goin on right now lol

I still have my d16y8 good head, came out of my 2000 civic ex. Thank god i kept it.

I just bought a 300$ 99 civic d16y7 with automatic transmission. I have my 2000 civic rebuilt tranny ready to swap over. I had to scoop it up, just a great deal.

I know how to do the head swap itself, just any help would be awesome.

I already have my top end gaskets copper spray for the head, and some high high heat paint to paint the block and tranny. Since I have the p22 or p28?(correct me if i'm wrong i forget) I should just be able to swap the head and that'll be it...right? Also I have a 12lb jr flywheel, and exedy stg 1 disc with heavy duty pressure plate, that'll just swap over right? Cause it's a d16 block. Anything else i should do before i put her back in? besides the general maintenance i already know of.

Oh i have arp head studs as well that b***h wont leak.

I had ordered a ls swap, they sent the wrong motor (from the 96 and under model) obd1 bullshit so i sent it back, found this swap for 10x cheaper then what i was spending, i just need it for reliability ATM. Any help with this would be great, thanks.





still reppin tha slohc :D it'll be turbo this summer =] I'll update again soon.

It's been a long time....Haven't been involved in the forums much, but here is an update of what all ive done to my car since those pictures in June 2006.



Finally got some rims... 16'' Drags, gold polished lip, wrapped with Proxes ZX4's 205/40/zr16




Got a carbon fiber password:jdm front lip/and new headlights b/o (DIY)^^^^

Then I got a new lip...mugen style, and oem si rear lip(not installed, no pix yet), and a skunk2 ss



Then the sad part comes!



So my tranny is out, and i stopped driving my car to prevent the bearings on the crank from getting any worse, while that process went on it was broken into, stolen radio that's bout it, oh well, crooks!

So now I'm building my motor up, why? For fun, i don't want to do a swap, just a mild build on my little d.






got her ready to pull out! But first had to get some supplies...I had air tools, ratchets to make this things go alot easier.








The motor is out




I'll be updating...any comments are appreciated...may be a while till i update...keep posted =]



some grindage...

i just took off the front bumper so i wouldn't scratch anything, and trying to take the A/C stuff out is alot easier...i will eventually get my front, back lip and grill painted.

So ive got a entire working A/C system if anyone wants to buy it + shipping/paypal
