Default BEST TQ & MPG swap for 95 cx? HELP!!

like title states. What engine makes the most torque. I don't care to rev it to the moon, i just want the most torquey combo I can build. Going to do my best for fuel mileage too.

Car I'm trading for is a 92-95 cx hatch with an obd1 ecu and obd1 b16 swap and hydro gsr trans. Willing to trade or sell swap for the most torquey combo possible that i can still have (or have the room to) install a/c and power steering. I am not willing to fabricate engine mounts, i want something that has already been stress tested and proven to work well. my thoughts are k24, b20/vtec whatever. looking for a hydraulic trans with long ratio's too.

I'm open to ideas. I want to make this thing get 25 mpg +, and have no problems with turbochargers and custom engine management. Would even be ok with supercharger..

Thoughts, ideas???... help me out guys. Professional or Educated responses only...Don't make me make you prove your theory... lol

car will be a daily driver to/from work with torque, fuel mileage and comfort mostly important.

thanks in advance, Ryan.

And hyper mile it.
