I vote for a B18C1 or C5. Honestly though, it all depends on your budget and how much you really want to put into the car. But for all-motor, those would be my choices.

You will have to use a cable type transmission, and decide what ecu you are going to use. If you go with the GSR ecu, then you will need to change the wiring to run that ecu or get a nonOBD to OBD1 conversion harness. Other than that, you should be good.

you dont even need a mount kit, id recommend a stock replacement kit though because your mounts will be old and soft.

I would recommend getting a 92-93 integra LS or GS, fromt here buy a 92-93 integra XSi swap, comes with the dope YS1 tranny and the obd1 PR3 ecu. Then I would save your block, hone it and slap some new pr3 pistons in on your LS rods, and rebuild the bottom end. Then when you have enough money, go the LS/VTEC route when you get tired of the slow b16
u will be very happy.
Just make sure to get stuff like ARP head studs, FPR and FPG... make sure your fuel mixture is not too lean
otherwise detonate and say goodbye to ur rings.
