I think i've settled on a VX engine imported from Japan. I contacted Hmotorsonline, a very reputable engine source, to see if they had any 1992-1995 D15B VTEC-E motors (same thing as US D15Z1). They are a little pricey at $795 but from all the reviews I have read you are guaranteed a good low mileage motor. I've also got some other leads to chase down that are a little cheaper at around $500. I already have the transmission, I can get the VX ECU, and the wiring from non-VTEC to VTEC-E is pretty simple. I'll be putting in a lighweight flywheel, new clutch, engine tune-up, timing belt, water pump, etc.
