im looking to take my b16 out of my del sol and replace it with a d15 to sell. i have a d15b8 from a cx that will work. however it only has 70hp and id like to make it closer to 100hp. (so that a potential buyer isnt overwhelmed with how slow the car is) my question is if anyone has a d15b7 head and intake manifold that i could put on this bottom end?

or do you think it would be cheaper to just find another engine...give me some ideas...

thanks chet.

it would be easier to just find a d15b7 or d16z6. Swapping a d series head is only a possibility because in the CX about halfway through the batch honda switch from 3 valve reliefs per piston to 4. If you pull the head and find out you only have 3 valve reliefs then youre either gonna have to swap pistons or put the cx head back on cause a 16 valve motor with only 3 valve reliefs per piston is gonna have some piston to valve contact the very first time you turn the motor over.
