CRX-ZC advice please

Hey guys! I'm fairly new to the board, but, I have an '89 CRX-Si that's gettin up there in the miles. I have a friend that can hook me up w/a ZC engine imported from Japan for only $450 plus whatever shipping is.
I was wondering if any of you have done this or seen this done. I've heard things come up about the brown seals vs. the black ones, & I know the black ones are better.
What I'm wondering is: Is it gonna be really hard to find little piddly parts that I might need like spark plugs or oil filters or little things like this.
I would probably go w/a bigger motor...maybe up to B16A, but I'm a spoiled brat and MUST have my A/C.
Help me out guys!!!
Thanx in advice.

I've seen a ZC in an 89 hatch. Works well and actually pulled pretty hard, at least enough to outrun lightly modded D series Civics without a problem.

Parts are not gonna be a problem- most of them are fully interchangable with the 86-89 Integra's parts (also a 1.6L DOHC non-VTEC).

Go for it!

Exactly!!!!
I have a friend that has a ZC in his 89 Civic hatch, another with a 90 CRX and I know a guy that just did one in his 89 CRX. They haven't had any problems with finding parts....they say it's easy as pie...and...your right 2ndgenteg they do pull pretty good...I was impressed needless to say.

we switched from duel point injection to multi point injection, the harness was only wired for 2 injectors, we had to hack apart a 91crx SI harness to get the parts we needed... the 88 and 91 have different main harness connectors to the ECU or we would have just swaped harnesses.

It should take some one with exsperience about 3 days and an amuture about 5. I did my swap with a b16 in about 4 days and I had no previous exsperience. SInce you have an SI you shouldnt have any problem with the harness......It should be like warm apple pie and just slide in.
