Not cheap unless you have and can use a welder.

All of the mounts need to be custom made. Then there is the wiring, tranny, ECU, etc...

i c...what would i have to do to wire it up, i guess the motor is from a 92-95 jdm civic so that would have to be converted from obd1 to obd0 right?....also i found it on h motors online but they don't include a ecu, how would i go about doing that...

Oh, is the car fuel injected? If not, then I'd say forget about this swap, it really isn't going to be cheap or easy.

Into a fuel injected Civic SI, the D16A1 is pretty much a bolt in.
