haha...far from it my friend. The block is still in Texas and the head work is not done yet. I'm still waiting for the bastards to call me about my cams and gears.
Well at least you're going to be finishing your build up in spring, as opposed to me who has just completed his build in time for winter
Trust me, optimism is your best friend when you're doing one of these builds. Just see the light at the end of the tunnelMatt my friend, I admire your optimism. I hope that it's done by fall. haha

wow sorry for interrupting the thread but this contains a lot of great info
what shop did you end up going to for headwork?
I wish i would have seen this awile ago, there is a shop in orlando near the arena called Dover that does good work.
Hey guys I'm doing a d16y8 cylinder head and mating it to my d16a6 block, then swapping it into the engine bay of my EF. I'm just doing the cam, do you think it will do anything? (with no other mods).
P.S. I'm keeping my old valves and I just personally hot-tanked it and cleaned the valves nicely. Should I go a B16A2 in the future?. I only ask because I have had a lot of fun personally rebuilding my first head (the D16Y8) and I'm wondering if the B16A6 head is harder or anything?. Also, what is the average price of a B16A2 (from what I understand this engine comes out of a 2nd generation Integra) so it shouldn't be much.
My list of engine mods that would fit the B16A2:
1) 2 1/4 inch header back exhaust
2) dpfi-mpfi swap (done by me)
Actually to think about it I dont have much for that motor as I do the B16A2, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!. Thanks!.
