Default D16A6 Swap!

Ok, so I am throwing a D16A6 engine into my 1997 Honda Civic EX which I took from a Honda CRX Si...so I guess my questions are:

Which parts from the CRX will work in my 1997 Honda Civic EX?
What parts will I need to make this engine work in my Civic?
Need new motor mounts?


I just don't know, and any help would be appreciated!

P.S. If it's cheaper I will just buy a civic engine that will go right in with little to no problems...can anyone recommend a good place to purchase honda civic engines? I live in Minnesota.

obd 0 not so great try and at least find an obd1 motor like d16z6 or d15b then you can use your mounts and a jumper harness or go obd2 and go with a d16y8 or any b sieres motor try seaching sorry just noticed you have an ex so you should have a d16y8 already why do you want to change it ?

It'll work fine. Just swap the drivers side mount that's connected to your engine from the Y8 to the A6. Also the fan switch is located on the back of the A6 block but on the thermostat housing of the Y8 so you'll need to wire it to the back of the A6 block. The intake and exhaust manifolds will bolt right up to the A6. The knock sensor might be a little tricky to install as the A6 doesn't have an exact place for it. But if you can get your hands on another Y8 or at least a Y7 thats your best bet.
