Lets just keep the price reasonable say somewhere around 5000 more or less unless there is something really good for more.

uh no. If you are putting a b-series in there then yes you will need a mount kit. Ohterwise when you put a d16a1 in it it drops in with the use of integra and crx mounts. I forget off the top of my head which ones you want to use.

Go with a 88-89 d16a1. 118hp. Its electronic advance for ignition. Where a 86-87 is vacuum.

In order to get the 88-89 to work it will take some wiring work. But then again if you have a Carburated engine it will take a whole lot of wiring

.

Right now I am on the lookout for 84-85 CRX Fuel Injected. Nicer looking I think with the recessed headlights.
