Default b16a swap help

I own a 96 civic dx with a y7. OBD2. I'm starting to save up for a b16 swap. The JDM model is OBD1 while the USDM model is OBD0 correct? I might have those switched. What I'm wondering is if it is possible for me to get a USDM b16 in OBD2 to save me from paying extra for the wiring. Or do I have just have to get a conversion harness? If I can get the OBD2 USDM where can I get it? hmotorsonline doesn't seem to offer it.

my places sell motors other than hmotors, passwordjdm.com also sells them. you'll need an OBD-II if you want to pass inspections if you have them in your area.

passwordjdm also doesnt sell the USDM b16 in OBD2. There are other reasons I need it to be OBD2 right? Cause I dont have to worry about emissions.

Putting an OBDII engine in a car that originally came with one will save you a few wiring headaches.

And check outInline Four for that SI engine.

wow. That engine is twice the price as the one on hmotors and it doesn't include nearly as much AND it has 80k miles. Any idea why?
