You can swap in a D16a1 from the 86-87 Integra. These motors are fuel injected so you will need to convert your car to a fuel injected fuel system. NOT an easy swap. For more info for this car go to RedpepperRacing.com They can help you with any other ways to get more power from this car.

Cool find!
The best site for the 3rd Gen Civic (and its cousin the 1st Gen CRX) is http://www.redpepperracing.com. Lots of good people with plenty of first hand knowledge.
For the brakes, swap in the front rotors, calipers and caliper brackets from a 86-89 Integra. They are a direct bolt on. Buy some quality pads to go with them. You could also swap in the rear disks from the Integra, but that is a waste of time. Long story short: rear disk are heavier and do not offer any extra stopping power.
Engine swaps are so boring. Everybody is doing them. The early Integra's D16A1 is a direct bolt in with its trasnmission, B and K series can be made to fit.
The stock engine can be built to make power, but it may not be smog legal in your area. Lots of induction, some simple head work and other simple tweaks can yield lots of power.

Swap a sohc vtec in, it will be fun, reliable and will feel faster cuz the car is so light. If more is needed, you can always go boost.
