Don't do it.
The amount of work, time, money, and effort in need to find purchase and assemble all those parts in "not" worth it. As Doublethink has stated, your much better off buying a complete assembled swap, with the only parts needed for a decent setup would be axels, mount kit, shift linkage, new timng belt and clutch.
You'll be much better off in the long run.

 

Don't assembly your own motor from parts. Don't outer just the "long block." Don't order just the engine/tranny/ECU. Do go to hmotorsonline.com. Do order the JDM B16A1 "complete change over." Do thank me afterward for my advice.

Seriously, do what I said and nothing else. Why? Because you will save hundreds and hundreds on parts. You will save so much time in not having to source all the parts and dealing with all those different sellers. You won't swap an engine in to your car only to have it not start because one idiot (out of 30) sold you crap.

Believe me, I'm not talking from hearsy. I was like you and wanted to order the cheapest parts as singles from all over. But in the end I did what I said above and am glad I did. I ended up getting a super clean swap from hmotorsonline.com that included axles ($200 saved), shift linkage ($150 saved), rear tranny bracket ($50 saved), and so much time (priceless).

complete change over
any thing else
