well, you'll need b-series EF mounts, axles and linkages along with a complete engine, cable tranny and clutch to fit the cable tranny you're using, converting to obd1 so you can at least run a chipped ecu with a b20 basemap on it, then of course the cost of labour.
I would also highly recommend replacing your timing belt and water pump when doing an engine swap b/c its much cheaper/easier/faster to replace the timing belt and water pump when the engine is out of the car sitting on the floor, compared to doing it with the engine installed.
Consider these things when doing a swap into an EF, its not like an EG/EK where you can just use stock integra mounts (with the proper rear bracket), shifter linkages and ECU, especially when doing a b20 swap b/c there isn't a stock ECU that you could just plug in and run properly since there isn't an obd0 or obd1 b20 ECU.

everything zeeman said is correct i did a gsr swap in my ek coupe be prepared to pay around 4 grand for everything labour, motor, mounts, shift linkages, ecu, drive shafts, tranny, new timing belt, water pump, make sure ur alternator and hoses are in good condition and same with ur distributor. (know where ur getting ur motor from and make sure its in good condition) all this stuff will eventually add up and before u know it u spent 4 to 5 grand.. but u cant cheap out if u want it done correct

you'll also need b-series rad hoses and I would recommend doing a tune-up. You know, new plugs, wires, dizzy cap and rotor, PCV valve, valve lash adjustment, those kind of things that prolly haven't been done to the engine in a long time.

Meh, i'm used to it. I don't mind taking the 2 minutes it takes to type out a response. I've done these swaps so many times I can do them with my eyes closed so I'm very familliar with what needs to be done and what parts need to be used.

I cannot remember exactly but I believe Chris/zeeman do swaps for around that price range. And it is quality. Reason being, everything fits with no custom work really. If you have the right parts/harness adaptors its all plug and play. Just time consuming with those old bolts on these cars.
