Default Thinking of buying a d15b long block.

I'm considering doing a SOHC Vtec engine swap. I'm kinda tired of my little 92hp VX engine in my hatch. My question is if I buy http://www.hmotorsonline.com/s...30019. What else would I need to make the swap work. IMO 40hp for $400-$500 isn't too bad. I'm an all motor guy in case you didn't notice. So don't start with the " get the naWWWWWz" or any other FI please.

from what i've read...the D15B isn't a bad choice at all...some would argue the z6 due to the 1.6 Liter and potential blah...but with the 15B, it gives u a slightly higher redline with 5-10 more ponies...which is also a plus...

Hmotors has a good rep so i'd figure they would. I wouldn't see why not.
