Default Installing D16z6/y8 into CRX, need input

Ok, so I found a D16z6/y8 block/head missing IM and dizzy. Question is, what do I really need to do and what parts do I need to get this swap successful? This will be my first swap so I am very nervous and un-informed. I figured its almost like a mini me, so I have learned the wiring for MPFI and OBD1 and Vtec, but aside from that I havent a clue on what I need and what to do. Here are some pics of said engine to be purchased Wednesday. Also, is $200 a decent price on this? He said milage on bottom end is 120xxx and head is unknown. Thanks in advance

i did the same swap before my zc and it was my first i did a swap. wasn't that bad the thing that got me pissed off was the dpfi to mpfi that was a bitch but i wired the v tec up to a switch and stayed with my obd0 worked pretty good but the zc has a lot more power then that engine did and nice valve cover i had the same one.But over all the swap wasn't that hard

Also if you think $200 is a good deal then get it if you don't then don't.

do it right and convert to 0bd1 or 2 and dont wire a vtec switch PLEASE! get the Arp head stud kit and tell them what your doing. They have a kit especially for this. Get a new honda head gasket and change the water pump while you have it out.
