Default should i get a b16a for my 93 integra??

ive been looking for a motor for my integra shell for awhile now. i wanted a b18 at first but its been two months looking for one and i havent found one for a decent price. im thinking bout a b16a. i seen one for 1200. complete with greddy headers, full exhaust, aem cold air intake. it was pulled out of a 91 integra. at first i didnt want a b16 becuase of the low end torque. but i just need to put something in there and get my car running. im not going to make it a full race car or anything. i just need something reliable with a lil speed. do u guys think 1200 for it is worth it? or should i wait for a b18 or b20???

if your looking for advice ...
sure, going with a B16 for getting around town is great, if you don't mind having puney torque.

Something you might be over looking is the OBD-0 & OBD-1 factor. That $1200 B16A engine your looking at, I'm assuimg its an older 89-91 B16A engine which are not OBD1 equipped engines; and your 93 integra is OBD1 equipped. So if you wind up buying this motor, you'll have to find an OBD1 B-series VTEC distributor, injectors, exhaust manifold that uses a single 02 sensor, and an OBD1 B16A ecu, which is gonna run you close to $700 or so.

Its best if you try and find an OBD1 cable B16A engine. They're kinda rare but that not that rare.

just some heads up...

the guy with the b16a he pulled it out of his 91 integra. he has the harness for it. if his integra is a 91 then im assuming its obd0. now would that work with my car?
