87 crx d15A1
i have a pretty tight budget.. considering i am still in school.. i'm looking to spend approx. 1000 for now .. and plan to start building the motor from there.. i only have like 70hp now.. so 145-150hp would be a good start...i found a 94 civic crashed.. good motor 1.6 vtec would it fit?

Maybe this will help.. I didn't actually look closely. This is the only refernce I have found that I can find again. If you are fuel injected already you are halfway there

You would think a board called hondaswap would have a chart like that but I missed it somehow :/

Yes, everything is a good way of putting it. If you've never done an engine swap before, and only have $1000 this is probly not the best swap for you. That 94 civic has a d16xx (xx means I'm not sure which one) that should fit in the CRX and you can probly get a mount kit from hasport.
However unless you're pretty good with wiring, putting that d16 into a carb'd crx will be a job not to be done by noobs. I'm not sayin you can't do it, but it will take you a LOT of time and WAY more than a grand.
That being said, I think the JDM Civic DOHC ZC swap would be more attainable and more within your budget. It puts out about 130 hp, and I think (not for sure) will bolt up to your stock mounts if you get one from the same year, give or take a few.

Good luck bro!
