Default Which is easier to mod HF or DX

I'm selling my 89' Si due to body rot and have recieved offers for an 89 HF and one for two 88' DX's. I want to do a B16A swap into whichever I get but I heard that the DX has issues taking a swap. Anyone have any info on this? which would be better or should I keep looking for an Si again?

The DX would have to be converted over to MPFI whereas the HF would only need to add four wires to the wiring harness for the knock sensor, VTEC, second O2 and I VTEC pressure I think. Not sure on the last one. Wiring is a little more in depth for the DX. The HF if much easier.

I love the HF I just picked up Nothing like an hf for 950 with rear disc brake conversion done and si interior (seats in crap shape though). Now to get the money for the b16 and prep it for next auto-x season

don't forget on the HF you need to change the front hubs, where on the DX you don't.

An 89 HF may not be that much lighter than an 88 DX. Just something to consider.
