Update on the swap.....

[redEK]

new parts came! ARP head studs,ACT TO bearing, and ACT 6 puck clutch :TU:

[boosteddx]

nice...head studs will go a long way to save u from head lift i never regret paying for mine:TU:

[redEK]

I am sure it will help me big time considering I will be boosting.

[boosteddx]

even better.i know some guys with barely even 6psi and there head studs already gave lift. what flywheel are u mating the clutch too?

[JdmRevelations]

great move with the ARP headstuds...

[redEK]

Stock flywheel and stock pressure plate. There is a local guy here that has a CRX that runs high 9s and said that he ran a stock honda pressure plate up to 500HP.

Ok motor is all together and ready, all I need is the rear t bracket. I will be swapping it this weekend, more pics to come.

P.S. Yeah I know the motor is dirty





I was thinking of using the 96-01 valve cover, its painted red though, I think it looks kinda rice you all tell me...

[Dina]

I got a 96 to 01 valve cover if you want to trade me for the one you have I have been looking for that valve cover that has the honda H on it let me know!

[Volume 8]

the new style valve cover would look good on there, just paint it black or something if you don't like the red.

[JdmRevelations]

trade Dina for his 96-01 valve cover... looks cleaner IMO...

Yeah I am going to get it powder coated wrinkle red this weekend.

I am very happy with the LS. I love the added tourqe over the single cam.
It was an easy swap plus it was my first swap I had it in and running over 1 weekend. I will get a list of everything you will need.
