go with a DOHC H22A1, a nice upgrade from your current engine, and it should fit with little or few modifications

if you are going with an h22a1, you can get a chipped p28 for it. and yes, to convert to obd1, you will need a jumper harness.

some of those same companies on the front page sell ecu's as well. or try ebay, craigslist, or even the honda-tech market place.

You can run a p28 chipped w/H22 basemap ecu with any JDM or USDM H22. Just make sure you have a jumper harness so you can plug N play the OBD1 p28 ecu.
