if you decide to go all motor id just do a semi built ls/vtec, somewhat cheap and ive found to be reliable as long as you sacrafice the stock ls rodbolts and dont rev to 9k every day

it also depends on if you are willing to sacrafice any of the extras the Si came with like power steering and a/c.. i dont think there are many all motor em1's that kept those and are really fast

sorry to tell you, but an alarm wont do much...there are so many posts about cars being stolen...dont want to freak you out, but its a serious issue...you should take a look on here: http://www.vsracing.net/~suspended/index.html

i say go with an ls block bore .25mm over get OS P30 pistons arp studs all around (head, main , and rod) only cause they're cheaper than oem bolts. shot peen the stock rods, get urself some nice vtec pumps oil, and water build urself a custom vtec oil line kit &lt;$20 a few other lil things and you got urself some nice torque and decent top end till you do ur head
