Na lol I mean u can run it on an ls computer. Just have to add some sensors n wire some shit

twin cam zc or sohc ZC.

twin cam Zc can be run on a LS ecu and if you change the last cam cap on the head (one with the dizzy bolt) you can actully run a LS dizzy.. so it makes that part of it plug and play... also with the twin cam ZC you cant swap the intake manifold so you have to swap out injectors for obd2 ones and you have to convert the car to a two wire IACV( if it is not already) to keep the LS ecu happy. and the last thing you will have to do is bypass the crank sensor. and that is a easy deal to do takes about 2 second.

if you have the sohc ZC you can run any obd2 intake manifold like the stokc y8 or y7 and that will keep all the needed obd sensors with the car (iacv injectors ect) and you can run a y8 or y7 dizzy it will bolt up and last you will have to do is bypass the crank sensor also.

what kind of wiring would i have to do? I need to swap this within a 2 day period.. so i don't want to run into headaches...
i take it that i could run same shift linkage,axles,trans....
the motor is in a 1995 civic ex running on a p75

it is a nice swap it lets you keep sohc trans and headers and shit like that it make a bit more power then a sohc and bit less then a LS it is not really any thing to crazy but it is a cool motor. if you are not near VT it might not be worth it since the car looks like junk and the swap would be the only thing worth the trip but you can buy a JDM zc for about the same price and have less work and less travel and less junk to get rid of.

Still seems like a hassle for a 2000 just get a eg shell and swap over

ya if you do that then it is worth it. or you can sell it as a swap also. i would not pass up the deal since you leave close.
