i would skip the 900 MHz generation of VTECHs and go straight for the 5.4 GHz VTECH. VTECH cordless phones are not exactly top end though, go for panasonic or sony.
if however you are refering to the d16y8 VTEC motor, it just drops right in, you will also need the appropriate ecu, as well as wire up the vtec solenoid

But seriously, if you're gonna swap, pass on any SOHC and go dual. If you're gonna swap in another SOHC, then might as well just use that money on a turbo setup.

for b16 DOHC expect to pay atleast 3Grand ... for a auto to tranny conversion its fairly pricey, and from the work I've seen it can get pretty messy and costly (There are lots of little things that you'll have to pay for) unless u have good money flow I wouldn't do a auto to manual swap
