and Dr Drew, who did you use to buy your engines? (if its a site)

Local junk yards mainly, the one I have now needed a rebuild so I got it for doing labor on a car. I'm currently breaking it in. A ZC swap is easy into your car. You're car is multiport injected already so there isn't any wiring issues to deal with, so the only things you would need would be an integra clutch and pressure plate and an alternator/bracket from an Integra because the offset to the crank pulley is differant. It isn't a bad swap for the cost. Although, you wanna makes sure you get a good motor. The one that a customer got that we swapped only compression tested 75 in one cylinder, I dont know what the specs are for this motor but it is WAY more than that. However, after running it for a little bit it ran nicely.
