Ok. i've searched and found bits and pieces of info that sometimes contradict each other so i've decided to ask straight out. How would i go about dropping a OBD0 B18a1 into a 1990 Civic DX hatch. i know that i gotta convert to MPFI 1st but what about after that. i need mounts and whatelse? What kinda wiring am i looking at? This is for my daily driver so i can't have it down for too long. That's why i'm asking. Thanks guys.
Convert to multi point fuel injection
Get some mounts for the swap
Get a shiftlinkage for swap or mod the integra unit
Use a 90-93 integra rear mount bracket
Use 90-93 integra axles
Remove the rubber dust ring from the knucke and remove the rubber ring on the axles..
Make a big dent in inner fender for alternator clearence
Replace timing belt and waterpump,,and whatever else you can while motor is out.
Theres other stuff but you just need to search for the rest.

You couldn't of searched that hard. I just did the exact same swap and I was able to find all my answers with out making a new thread for it. I even made a semi write up/info/progress thread of the ordeal as well.

I definitly had to dent my inner fender to clear the alternator my swap. As for the cross member, the stock was fine but I suppose if you get a 4-1 header or something you might need an aftermarket one.

Call up Sport Compact Car magazine, get a back issue of the one from a few years back(probably 2003) that was titled: "Street Racing Toyko" on the front
It has a very complete article for dropping the OBD0 LS into a 90 or 91 DX hatch.
