Default d15b8 to a d15b7 swap

let me start by saying i am new to honda's, but not to motors - or -cars with a few builds under my belt chevy, suzuki, etc.. this is my first honda..

ok the history of the car

I got a 1992 honda civic CX,replaced the headgasket drove it for 500 or so miles and was on my way back from the beach when it started overheating i had nowhere to pull over so I went 1mile motor was in the red i parked had my wife come pick me up and drove out with a dolly the next day and towed her back well needless to say i screwd up the motor all 4 cylindars have 0psi compression, so i bought anouther motor out of a 92 honda civic CXwith 90k a rebuilt tranny and preformance clutch, I got home and started looking at the motor and saw that it is 16V and not 8, so i compared the model numbers on the block, so after a bit of research i see that the motor that is bad is a D15B8 bone stock, and the new motor is a D15B7 a DX motor, which is not a bad thing 30hp increas is nothing to write home about but it will help, the major difrence in these motors "within my limited knowladge of hondas are DPFI to MPFI and a 1wire O2 to a 4wire O2, and the intake manifold, well i got the intake manifold and the ECU with the motor, but not the harness

so my question is how hard is it to make the D15B8 harness work on the D15B7 and where would i find a pinout to know where to add the wires - this is going to be my daily driver - comuter car, granted it will have intake as soon as running and exhaust soon to follow. they help with milage as well as preformance.

or does anyone have a relativly cheep harness laying arround they would like to part with?
