Are you sure? Kelly Blue Book lists a CX for '97.
The D16 block should be a direct replacement for the D15 and the stock axles and electronics should work fine.

uh, is the 6th gen cx like the 5th gen? 8 valve? if it is, you'd have to swap the whole engine in. 16 valve heads and pistons meant for 8 valve engines don't go together!

The 8 valve CX engine has valve reliefs for 16 valves.
