few questions on my new EF

[9192ef]

so i just got a 1991 hatch. all stock except it has a full cat. i read somewhere on another web site that a d16 v tec head will fit on the stock d15 non v tec block. fact or fiction? let me know!

I'm pretty sure it will but don't take my word for it

[ALlTroTTle]

yes, its called a "mini me swap" has been done over a billion times.

ok, thanks. would you recomend getting any work on the block before i do this?
(sorry if these are lame questions, just tryin to learn the works.) thanks

You dont have to do block work, but how many miles are on it? Maybe worth a slight rebuild to bottom end if miles are high, but not a must.

It would benefit you to do some bottom end work. Restore some of the power by replacing seals and rings.

170,XXX i belive so i guess berrings and seals would be good thing eh?

couldn't harm, mini swaps are nice

you can get rebuild kits for a couple hundred bucks and it would def benefit you in the long run. not sure whether you want to stay N/A or boost but my buddy got a high compression rebuild kit for like 400 bucks. do that and a little head work upgrade the fuel and ignition system and you'll have a mean little D series!
