Default New to hondas

like I said I am new to Honda. Always been a Toyota guy, well I just received a 88 civic sedan with a 5 speed and a 90 Integra with an automatic transmission. I was told the motor will fit right in the civic all I have to get is the right transmission. but what can I take from the integra that will fit in the civic. for example will the front and rear seats fit. I haven't tried since one vehicle sit at a buddies house. I want to do the motor swap and I read about the conversion from dpfi to mpfi. I read that hasport motor mounts needed but are they necessary, I am not a cheap a$$ but I not looking to spend a whole lot. just want a daily with a little kick. thanks for help. oh yeah I don't know to much of the engine codes and the whole acronyms that I have seen on some threads.

But the engine will not just "drop in" You need mounts, Wiring, shift linkage, axles....etce

You will get all kinds of Opinions on this but the best answer is to modify the DPFI over to MPFI.
