need help finding engine for 95 cx hatch

I am having the hardest time finding an engine i can just put in and go. I don’t have time change anything around. When i bought this civic everyone said you can find an engine anywhere their a dime a dozen. Well someone must have bought all of them right when i bought the car
thanks

Is this USDM CX or Canadian CX?

If USDM then it might be a little harder to find the exact motor (D15B8 12 valve) as the CX was the only car it came in.

However you could directly swap in the D15B7 motor as long as you grab the ECU for it. You can find the D15B7 in the DX/LX in USDM and might be a touch more prevalent.

Also you will get a bit more power over the D15B8 and the D15B7 and ECU are plug and play.
