Default Need info on motor swap please?

I have a question on a motor swap that i would like to perform.I have this back up car,it is a 91 civic lx 4dr,the motor will be coming out of a 96 civic dx hatchback.What will the need-to-do list be.I am concerned about certain things,like power options,power steering and so forth.I will be getting a complete motor swap,ecu,axles,etc.I have a litte bit of time till my friend gets his new motor in,so i figured it's a great deal i need a new motor for the 91 anways.I would appreciate some feed back and i appreciate your guys time too.

I would definitely go for it if you have found a good deal on it.

You will need to use your factory ECU, distributor and your intake manifold to remain non-OBD (OBD0). You also may have to remain with your factory tranny and factory axles, as I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be able to use the 96 civic dx tranny being hydraulic and the axles being slightly bigger.

HTH.
