d16a6/d15b2 I also would have to swap distributors due to harness difference.

Since you aren't sharing a lot of info right now...

You should be able to swap distributors, intake manifold, and be ready to go, I *think* [dangerous, I know]. Assuming the Si head is in good shape, you can swap heads over on the 1.5 block as well.

The 'B2 is the 88-91 DX engine, so it should work like an MPFI conversion.

I sell a series of CD-Roms, but I sell one for the CRX that details most of the common engine swaps, that may be a useful resource? check my signature if you're interested.

The D15b2 will go in just fine... just swap the block and head, and use the original manifolds, distributor, and all that. If you're looking for more power, throw the D16A6 cam into the D15B2, it's a nice upgrade...
