Default New to the forum - planning GSR swap into 96 hatch

Whats happenin guys, Im new to the forum and imports in general. I did own a 96 honda prelude and loved it but had to sell it due to financial problems (school). Im planning on buying a civic hatch and found a really nice one. Its a 96 tho, I plan on swapping in a gsr engine from hmotorsonline but have heard going from obd2 to obd1 can cause problems. i want the swap to go smooth so if you guys can send me in the right direction it would be much appreciated. this is what im looking at buying http://www.hmotorsonline.com/shop/sc...age&item=30009 it comes with the axels and stock motor mounts but i dont know what else i would need? would this be everything? i just want to have everything ready so when im doint the swap im not hunting around for parts, thanks.

as far as wiring it's actually easier. Depends on the model civic it is to determine how easier it'll be (EX, DX, LX, HX).

I dont have the car yet but the one im looking at is a 96 honda civic Dx. But im also looking at a 92 (dont know what model tho). I was always told to stick with 92-95 years because they are obd1 and alot easier to do swaps on but i dont know much about honda swaps which is why im here lol. I do want the gsr tho as i heard is a great motor for a hatch.
