Well I have been looking for awhile and I do know that there is a obd1 dohc zc but i have a friend who has a Zc for relatively cheap. that is a true Zc but its obd0 now I am wondering what it takes to swap this thing into my hatch that is of coarse obd1......and I will be mapping my ecu for it....but yea what is involved with this swap.

or would it be more benificial for me to place this motor into storage and wait till i find myself a obd0 veihicle. such as a 88-91 hatch or CRX(yea hopefully one that isnt falling apart due to rust and has a solid frame)


And yea i know the Dohc Zc is not a great n/a motor i plan on turboing it but this is a good deal i cant really pass up i guess

im not really sire when it comes to this someone my correct me but think if you can find a obd1 distributor and harness maybe injectors but you will want to upgrade those when you go boost anyways. but i think you can run the obd1 ecu fine might be a cel or 2. my buddy has a dohc zc and he got it converted to obd1 very nice motor like a baby ls or something. hopefully someone else backs me up or shoots me down lol

obd-1 dizzy and intake manifold would be about all i think.
