1990 Ef Sedan DX d15b2<but not for long>
What going on Everyone, today is a new day and the start of a new life for our Civic. Me and my Wifey purchased this ef sedan from a longtime friend. She was running and driving just needed a new oil pan gasket. Needless to say nothing is just that easy. Wound up actually needing a rear main seal, along with valve cover gasket, distributor o ring, and possible head gasket. After getting multiple opinions and speaking to a few shops to get prices i have decided that this d15 has taking its last gulp of gasoline and air, and it would make more sense to just swap it out. ( if anyone has a different opinion please lmk never too late). We planned on restoring the car, so i guess this process is going to start alot sooner, lol.
We both are attracted to the more powerful engine swap, but we are ultimately trying to build a daily driver, and alot of builds take tons of tinkering and adjusting to get right, so we decided to try to find an option that we can take and just drop right in (yes this means auto to auto wifey dont drive stick).
Did alot of reading and talking to my peers and personally some guys i've seen do wonders with hondas and call specialists, and we Decided to go with a B20
Easy to source, near me. no cutting required. and reasonably priced out job, (especially since we will drop it in our selves). I have read quiet a few threads on here and dont see a hole lot of issues involved in this swap, as long as its done right and not rushed. (once again any comments will be appreciated).

Here's a quick run down:
We have sourced a B20 low compression with cable auto trans (2wd fwd) , sold with year Warranty and paper work from japan, as well as paper work guaranteeing us less that 55000 miles.
Here's my questions:

Here's my questions:
- Is there an issue doing an auto to auto swap into the ef?
- Can i use Ef SI axels?
- (i was told they came with a bseries)
- Are they any affordable company's that make parts for EF Bseries convertion parts that you would recomend?
- Or recomend to stay away from?
- What are the biggest concers with swapping a B20 into an ef?
- What tf do I do about clusters and guages?
