They made a few but the easy answer is old motor pre 92 I think, sohc or dohc non vtec. Great for boost if low miles. Dime a dozen. I had one in a crx a long time ago, fun car.

Technically its an illegal engine swap. Its illegal to swap an older engine into a newer car. Mostly because of emissions.
