Stupid to do, that motor is not a good idea for swapping, search for more info on why, I do not know the exact reasons.

Sorry

you want a B20Z or a B20B from a CRV and a VTEC head from a B series DOHC VTEC

Correct me if im wrong but the "red headed step-child" of the b series motors (b20a5) dosent share the same engine mount location as other b series do...so doing a swap with that engine would be difficult regardless if it was a good engine to start out with or not.
