Default good replacement for D15B2?

The car is a 1991 Honda Civic Wagon DX with DPFI. It has 186,000 miles on it and runs great, but is starting to use oil.

I was wondering if you could just swap out the D15B2 longblock with a SOHC ZC longblock for a cost effective replacement for a daily driver. The car is also an auto so we are not really concerned with performance, so we want to keep it DPFI as well just to keep it simple.
