d16a1 has the mount set up has the 84-87 crx.Doesnt come close to bolting in. That would be a dohc zc black valve 2nd gen jdm that bolts in

seriously, the 20 year old motor that doesn't bolt in is the obvious answer!

haha. Go with whatever is cheaper for you. If you already have a Y7 block, do that. If not Dzcs are fairly cheap.
