The D15A3/EW3, D16A1, and brown top ZC drivetrains are *different* from 88+ D-series. Mounting points and bolt patterns, bellhousing patterns, head bolt patterns, it is not a bolt together or drop in situation.

It is an EW4 block with a D16A6 head it looks like. I'll post pics tonight. I took the valve cover off and looks like all the head bolts are there except the two on the left and the one on the back right facing from the front of the car. Those three have studs in them (Not ARP) look like allthread. The back left one has some meat cut ground out with looks like a dye grinder in the most ghetto of fashion 
but it fits. I will try to get some detailed pics up tonight.

Looks like I will have to get a set of 450s for the new engine. Should make for some good carnage pics once I get this bitch out.

swapping in a 88+motor using the factory 1st gen crx si trans is doable. The old man use to do them all the time back in the 90's. Little ghetto adapter plate does the trick. But,yes hardly a drop in no headache swap

If you keep the vintage 1.5 bottom end please keep in mind they have the wussy failure rods of the later D15s, as well as the pistons being made from compressed mule ----. The pistons break in half on stock engines, add boost for maximum failure.
I'd upgrade to D16 stuff the easy way - D16A1, yo. Actually, nix that, I'll buy the car off you for what you have in it, I ------- LOVE those cars.
