I'm also not sure where to look for these parts at?!
Block: D16A6
Head: D16Z6
Tranny: S20 (LSD)........................... probably from Honda or ebay/i-net
Rods: Eagle H-Beams ......................Company named Eagle?
Pistons: CP 10:5:1 ...........................Search for CP on I-net
Bearings: ACL .................................search for ACL on i-net
Valves: Omni Power ......................... search for company Omni power or really a valve is a valve
Springs: Crower Stg2........................ Crower is a cam company....call tech line on phone and tell 'em
what the crower parts are for.
Retainers: Crower Stg2 don't bother them if you don't have money to buy with. Respect their time.
Cam: Crower Stg2
Intake Manifold: Edelbrock Performer X .............................Edelbrock is a company
Header: AN-R Merge Collector......................................... .. any set of headers probably are better than stock cast exhaust.
If this is a first time engine job for you, it's better to send it out
LHT in St Pete is who I trust. John knows his stuff.
Don't take anything apart until you have the parts or you won't ever get it back together, and it will be scrapped
for almost nothing.
Have a place to work or the city will tow it and scrap it.
Does what you have ...is it driveable while you collect the parts|?
