so it should just drop right in? with all the correct parts like wiring and tranny and drive axles and blah....it should drop right in without any fabricating or anything???

if so i wonder why he would say Si only?

P.S.- do u have any recommendations on which engine to put in a 90 crx?

It can be done. I just put one in my HF and that takes more work than on your car.

depends on what you mean by better. If you want an easy swap, do a D-series. If you want ***** to thewall power, go H or K series, but it won't be cheap.

-You will need a 91-93 cable trans unless you want to swap to hydraulic.
-You will need 91-93 integra axles and the intermediate shaft.
-You will need to swap 91-93 integra hubs onto your knuckles and use 91-93 integra wheel bearings.
-Use your stock throttle cable and fab up a throttle cable bracket.
-I recommend HCP for motor mounts.
-You will need the rear motor mount bracket for a 91-93 integra
