I have heard that the ZC is not a direct swap , but a b-series can be done with a hasport kit( just going to cost a lot )

Another problem you may encounter on a first generation swap is fuel injection. I believe that only the Si's were fuel injected. So to put a B16 in a first generation CRX HF means you have to convert to fuel injection. I think it can get pretty expensive. It would be damn quick though.

you can use a 1st gen. ZC. it has an olive colored valve cover. You think a b16a into a 1st gen. is a tight fit, I've seen it done with a prelude motor. I'll have to find the link for that one.
