#239033 It's nice to see someone that doesn't mind getting dirty and building a motor. Keep us up on the updates and good luck with your build.

#239046 Nice build, You will want an adjustable cam gear or a d16y7/8 cam gear. Otherwise timing will be one tooth off, I helped a buddy put together a y7/z6 head minime. We put it in his Heavy 88 Civic Wagon with a DX Cable Transmission, He still managed to beat his Friends 91 Wagon with a B16 Swap in it. He had better tires then the B16 wagon, however he had 5-6 Cars on him. We were all very surprised to see how much quicker it was then the b16 Wagon.

When all is said and done, You should have a pretty quick setup here. :thumb:

Thankz man! Yeah the adjustable gear will be listed soon :wink:
I'm still juggling pistons and a cam but it will all come together soon enough
I really need to post up my y7 head to help move things along a little bit.

#242992 A few more preview shootz:

Remember this was a junkyard pulled head, and it had a couple bent valves and 2 of which had made sweet monkey love to the pistons. PPorting replaced those valves, milled .002 for flatness, and 3 angle valve job.

Great service from Dustin too, I couldn't be happier. I can't wait to get this thing back and to the next step ;)
