Default 90 civic hatch std b16A Swap

I just bought a "New" used civic hatch since my old one got totaled. I have been looking online for an engine/ trans swap and i found a B16A sir gen 1, and i was wondering if since it is a JDM engine would i still be able to get parts from stores like advance, autozone, napa? or would i have to order online. any help is great or if you guys have other ideas for a swap please let me know.

Thanks again

I've had that swap in my EF hatch race car for several years, no problem getting parts. It's a ton of fun!

You can't get a distributor for it in the states that came on a vehicle stock over here. If you go OBD1 you'd have more options for that part. Search in the hybrid FAQ for details on that swap as there are plenty of write ups
