1. 88+ D series motors are different than the 84-87 "D series" motors. They have different mount locations and will not bolt in into your car. The 84-87 motors are "called" D-series, but its in name only, they are actually "EW" series motors

2. You can swap in a D16A1 from an 86-87 Teg, but you would have to convert your car to Fuel Injection, which can be done, but is a PITA.

I recommend you go here and join http://www.redpepperracing.com This site is devoted to 84-87 Civics and is very helpful and friendly.
