Default Thinking about getting a ZC motor....

I was reading up on it a little didnt find alot on it but I didnt look to hard. My main concern I have found is the tranny. I have a 88 crx hf. My tranny is geared for gas milage and the dx or si trannies are more for power. I am getting the motor fairly cheap but will my tranny work or do I need to look into getting something else? Also and info on this swap will be greatly apprecaited.

Thanks in adavance to anyone who can give some advice on this

You should pm Spoonfed and he should have alot of info on what to do and he can do the swap if needed.

stick to the si tranny... better gearing...also a zc tranny needs the zc intermediate shaft...there are no us replacements...you cannot use any us "counter" part...
