An A20 out of an '89 DX w/Auto. :D

The second easiest would be the B20A w/Auto I have sitting in my shop. Re-using your existing carb would be easiest, but you'd sacrifice some power.

After that you are looking at b16 or b18 and those require motor mount kits, custom axles, shift linkage, etc... and you would need to convert to 5 speed.

Now spend the rest of your day reading other threads. Lots of good info out there. :cool:

you have DX model, so don't expect easy job. if you want fuel injected car, it will not be cheap. your best thing to so is to work with what you have right now.

Convert to FI can't be as hard as everyone says. If you're doing a B-series swap, half of the stuff you would need to convert the A-series is eliminated. Basically, you just run the new wire harness, fuel line, tank, and pump and you're set as far as FI. That's been my research so far. There's always those gremlins that come up during an actual install.

You need an entirely new ECU, which would mean you have to re-wire everything in the car, and then hope that everything is compatible with the ECU you just put in

You've got to use the B-Series ECU. Get the cabin wire harness from the LX-i (which is needed for the conversion) and the engine harness from Place Racing. I know PRI's harness isn't completely plug and play but there's folks on the board who've figured out what goes where and they made diagrams.

yeah a svt lightning has 385 horses and will out run a stock corvette (not a z06) and u can easlily giv the lightning 600 horses easy.

but a black z06 common that would be sweet as hell but i am not sure which i am gonna buy
