You could just use a set of PM7/P29 pistons from the ZC/A1 motor. They will bump your compression up a lot! Then a set of cams and you're good!

the swap is really not hard....imho that write up makes it a lil more complicated than it really is

yea it kinda seemed to be making it harder than it had to be..

i was looking into this last night imo its more expensive than hard. over here in england ur lookin at the best part of 5-6000 pound to complete the swap with decent parts and a low milege engine.

i say if you want that engine then do the swap. just give ur self time and dont rush as u could end up kickin urself speakin from personal experiance i done a project 2 years ago and tried completing it in 1 month and it ended up in ruins lol so now im redoing it :thumb:

its taking me a year and a half and only half way through but the results are so much more satisfying lol

ive gotten the swap done in 2 nights (not alone of course) but its not as time consuming and difficult as some make it 2 b if you have knowledge of swaps.....

All the beginning is hard, especialy when you never did it before.
Bud once you begin, it shows it self. Just 1 tip, don't buy that cheap ebay crap for axles and mounts. That money is spoiled. Buy innovative or hasports than you're halfway.

Also after you swap it in or even before invest in a h2b kit. A guy I know ran 12's with his h22 with h2b (type-r tranny), intake, headers and exhaust in his dd hatch.
