Default OBD-0 B16a swap into a OBD-2 car? (searched)

The title explains the question. Has anyone done it or can i be done. The OBD-0 B16a engines are approximately $1400 cheaper than the OBD-2 B16a's. If it is possible to do, what all would be needed to complete the swap? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Thomas

Thomas, don't do it.
You'll almost spend just as much $$$ converting the engine to work/be compatible with your OBD2 vehicle than it would to just out right buy an OBD2 B16 engine.

Its just not a cost-effective choice to do on top of all the headaches/woes you'll be experiencing.

Don't skimp! just save up and buy an OBD2 B16 swap for your car and you'll enjoy the benefits of a hydro transmission and a lower mileage engine.
