Hi all, I am new here to Honda Swap and am hoping I can learn all about my Honda engine I have. I hope I have this in the right section.
Ok, so..
My Dad bought this engine a few years ago from a engine importer in Miami. My Dad told me it has less then 50k miles on it and he bought it for a Del Sol that one of my older brothers blew the engine in. The Del Sol never got fixed and ended up going to the junk yard (wish I had it now!) and about 5 months ago I got a 1978 Clubman Estate wagon (mini cooper wagon) that I am restoring. about 3 months into tearing down my Mini, I am at the point to where I need to start putting panels back into it. So, as I am saving money I am also thinking.... My Mini had a 1098cc carburetor engine in it, and when I drove it before I took it all apart, it was dog slow. My brother pulled on me with my 5hp go kart on a dead stop drag race. And I'm thinking... I drove this thing without any interior, only the two front seats and rear seats, and they weigh nothing, and I want to put all the interior back in it and more and by the time my Mini is all restored with the 1098cc engine, it's going to be even slower! so I don't want that... and I have this Honda engine, and want to use it in my Mini to make it get up and go.
All I know about this engine is that it is a ZC SOHC 16 Valve engine. I would really like to find out exactly how much HP it has, where I can find some online manuals or something to learn about it. I am guessing it is a D16A6? I'm not sure, but check out the pictures.
Any help will be appriciated!
Thanks! -Dan
