Heya All.

I am a new poster, and I think i got one that should get a few brain cells going, (As it has mine for the past 4 weeks)....

I have a 95 JDM Integra ZX (Twin Headlights, not eagle eye, I think it is called the DC type).

It has an engine that is a ZC type, 1600cc, Twin Carb, on the driver side, the driveshaft has a "ball joint", (I think thats what you call it....).

The engine is Kn***ered, the bottom end of it sounds like a bag of spanners, i think this came from the lack of oil in it, (I know, never trust the oil light....).

I am looking to replace the engine, but, as you can probably tell from my post so far, I am not mechanically minded at all.

Do any of the forum memebrs have any thoughts on how best to set about finding an engine that will go straight into it, without having to mess about with wiring looms, etc, If i do have to mess about with wiring looms, is it all the wiring in the car, or is it limited to wires under the bonnet.

I have hunted quite extensively on the 'net for direct replaement engines, with no joy.

Could I find another engine, and just use the bottom end of it, or, would it be better to transplant a whole engine into it, gearbox and all.

Any help would b greatly appreciated, lloking forward to hearing some comments.

By the way, HELLO ALL, good to be here..
