[QUOTE="LI98GT, post: 933731, member: 8068"] My first (and last) was swapping the stock Si engine (SOHC) for a ZC one (DOHC) in my '90 Civic Si. Took me a full weekend to accomplish. Little things like disconnecting the shift linkage and electrical were a pain. That was about 10 years ago or so now and it's still fresh with me. Would have been much easier if I could have found someone to do the ring job it needed. I would love to do another swap, but this time in a "classic" mustang - preferably a '66 fastback with 289. Here's the stocker motor and the patient as it was back then - not too much different today although some minor rust set in around the wheel wells.
