But if you want to run it in a 1992+ car, there are going to be some issues in terms of engine management.

Id say a solid swap if you are running no a/c and no power steering and arent worried about performance, very few moving parts I was justing writing on another thread about D16s if you throw a D16 head on a D15 block it equals a a vtec sohc compression monster the D15a2 with a D16y8 head is a cheap high compression mini-monster look it up.
