wonderign if anyone out there has tried this, I have a D17a2 bottom end and a D16z6 head, im wondeirng if its possible ot make work, any info would be greatly apreciated

 

anyone got any ideas

 

i dont know...;people dont usually mess with the d17 becaus eit sux....but i guess if you can slap a z6 head and tranny on it it wouldnt be so bad....try it out and let us know.

 

im workin on everything now, im just wondering if theres anyone thats tried this before.

 

Head bolts/studs don't line up. There was someone on sohchonda.com that tried it.

 

damn, i was hoping everythign would line up, thanks for the info

 

i was gonna do it but scrapped the car that the motor was in it will work and bolt up right the reason i didnt go through with it is cause i tried to swap in the whole a2 motor but it will work cause the ecu runs off the head mostly and not to much on the block i would say try it and see what happens cause i know those 1.7 blocks have lots of stroke

 

i was looking at a d17 at my work today and the heads "look" interchangable and so do the tranny bolts and mount bolts...but i didnt actually try it.......why would honda change the bolt pattern for the head? is there a huge bore differance or somthing?

 

the bored the same the stroke is LONG on it it, I dont have the full D17a2 engine i have the shortblock...

 

the only thing that u have to modify is the rear mount if its in a 92-95 year cause i tried it and the rear mount goes the oppsite way
