d15b into DB integra

hey everyone

looking at putting a vtec d15b+mt out of an eg civic vti into a db integra(round light version) just wondering if there is any reason this should be difficult? would i be able to use the original zc driveshafts etc? just wanting advice from anyone who has done a similar swap (zc>d15) so i know what parts i will require and any problems i might encounter. car is the efi zc model.

p.s. car is just a daily which i'd like to keep as cheap to run as possible and have minimal $ to spend on so please no b18c recommendations.. unless you have one to donate

Why not stick with the original engine and put a VTEC head on it? Then just route an oil line from the block to head for VTEC. Talk to Horny_Devil. It will make bugger all difference, but still... would give you some boobaa for daily satisfaction!

Swapping in a D15B is a waste of time really...
