Default Del Sol with bad engine

I have a 93 Del Sol 1500 sohc with 230K miles. it has a stuck valve and is very tired. The body is super, the top and windows are leak free. What should I do? Sell it as is or dump a bunch of money in it? I really don't have the facilities to do a lot. How hard is it to change engines and what motors will fit ? Any advice ? I'm just south of Buffalo NY.

You likely have a D15B (NON-VTEC motor). Either replace it with an identical motor or upgrade. D's and B's series are direct drop in. If you put in a B series, you will need to get a shift linkage from a Del Sol DOHC VTEC. One from an Integra WILL NOT WORK without modification

Breath new life into that thing!! Cherry Civics and Del Sols are getting very hard to find...and if you got one, I say keep it.
