While sarcastic and helpful, I'll go the extra mile. This is covered in the FAQ section. And there are lots of write ups in this very forum. Since you have a DX, everything will be smooth sailing. What tranny do you have in the car? If it's half decent, I'd keep it and just get a Z6 long block to drop in there. That way you can save the transmission and axles.

dx will need a dpfi-mpfi conversion done first.

honestly o/p you are in the best situation IMO to do an obd1 conversion, since you have to swap to mpfi first you're already going to have the harness apart so it's easier to use an obd1 harness for parts.

re use your stock motor mounts (including the drivers post mount that bolts to the block behind the timing cover), clutch will be for w/e year trans and fly wheel you have.

for the ecu purchase an obd0-obd1 jumper harness. u can make one, or buy one. i'm rocking an ebay one i bought 3 years ago. still works great.

ALSO, and most importantly. make sure you solder all wire connections and atleast wrap with electrical tape, heat shrink is prefered.
