Default Best 91 Auto wagon swap options???

**This is just a quick back story of how I got to where I am**

So I Just bought a civic wagon (91 auto fwd) for my girlfriend and was told the Head gasket went. So I took the head off had it all redone and after I put it together and it wouldn't start.. Had fuel and spark... Turns out compression was #1 180psi #2 90 #3 160 #4 145

So she wants to just order an imported motor.. Question I have is with it being auto and dpfi (keeping it that way) what imported motor would work best with the car I have And would take the least amout of work to get it to run correctly off of the auto ecu?
Thanks guys!

Imported have Lower mileage and warranty. Unlike a local yard that'll change less for the motor that I'd have to pull myself and it would have a S@&T load more miles.. But thanks for your input?
