Default Questions about swapping a d15b2 in place of a d15b1

I was just sold a d15b2 (dual point)motor/5speed from a crx to replace the d15b1 and 4 speed in my 91 ef civic. I have a multi-point head sitting in my garage that i would like to swap over also.

Is there anything that I should worry about before I make this swap over. Is this a direct swap over? Will this be a direct swap?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much.

Heads are all the same, difference is in the camshaft and springs. Everything is a direct swap but you have to make sure that if you use the A6 camshaft in a 1.5 block you use the Y7/8 gear or adjustable cam gear.

I think I'm going to just swap the whole motor over. I was informed that I can get better gas mileage and performance after going to the d15b2 with the the multi point swap.

If there's nothing wrong with your current B1, it'd be easier to just swap the camshaft out and do the MPFI.

yes everything is a direct swap.

i agree with 24ten everything is the same. id rather swap camshaft and do the mpfi swap.
basically your doing the samething just swapping in the b2.

Ok, I know this will be a silly question but is there a write up on swapping out the cam? And possibly the MPFI swap? Thank you very much.
