I have a chance to grab a B16A2 at a really good price. But I'd like to get more info, so please help.

It's an OBD-0 So whats needed to install in a 97 DX? The seller mentions that he suggest to 'rebuild' the engine. This consists of replacing bearings, pistons, etc... Is there a link to some DIY's on this? I'd like to rebuild it before it gets put in my car.

There's no such thing as an OBD 0 B16A2.

So the guy tells me the ECU is OBD0. Now if I were to get an OBD1 ECU, will that be ok? He also claims that's it's a 2nd gen with hydro tranny.

That's what I was thinking too, just OBD 1 and OBD 2. B16A1 and B16A engines came with OBD 0.

ok, it seems as though this guys trying to pull my chain, is there any DIY's for engine rebuilding? I really want to get an engine for my car but I also want to do it right. Links will be great!

You appear to have 2 issues, a B16 swap and an engine that needs a rebuild. For the swap you will at least need engine, tranny, mounts, axles, ECU, plus maybe some more stuff like the rear mount. You can check here for more info:

As for the engine rebuild, that's another issue entirely. B16 clearances are very tight, so unless you know what you are doing and have a good set of micrometers, I'd advise against it. A full swap sells for less than 1500 with an engine that is in good shape.
