i did it into my 95, which has almost the same bay as the 96. its not too hard at all. it requires mounts from a 99-00 si or integra (the front mount which also holds the AC pump should come from the si or a dual cam del sol.) and other than that, the wiring is kind of a pain, but other than that, its about as easy as a stock to stock engine change. good luck, and its well worth it.

Yeah, it's true. These are the places I give to everybody.

Sunrise JDM (They're in Quebec, so they might be close to you) http://www.sunrisejdmmotors.com/honda.php

Nippon Motors (SoCal, maybe not your best option). http://www.nippon-motors.com/honda.htm

go cut the harness out of a 6th gen civic at the pick-n-pull do it yourself junkyard in your area, then remove the pins and splice them in.
