specific swap info
Hi guys THX for reading. With all the engine swaping goin on in here, I'm left feelling overwhelmed with all the information on the topic.
I have a specific question and require a specific answer please. I have a 93 Del Sol S that falls in the 5th gen civic years. I want to do a swap only with an engine that will directly drop in WITH NO MODIFICATIONS (except for the ECU).
It presently has a D15B7. Del Sols also came with D16z6 and (here is where my question comes in) B16a....1?...2?...3? What is the differance? Will they all fit? I heard that some engines came with a 4th engine mount? How about GSR engines? What year will bolt right in with no mods? I've read that GSR from 94 to 97 will do? They are B18c...1?...2?...3? (I know about the axle needing changing) Will GSR engines up to 00 fit? Is there a chart somewhere on a website that can clear this up? I've found several sites with lists that leave me more confused!!! Can you guys just make up a list with engines that will directly go in, there codes (ei: b16a) and car model and years they came in?
THX all help will be greatly appreciated.

D15B7 will drop in with no mods 
nothing will drop in w/o any modifications (except ECU) - that **** just don't work like that.
At the barest minimum of minimums, you'd have to add some wires for VTEC.
A B18B would drop in, but you'd still gotta do some wiring changes. If you are unaware, I tell you in good faith - you are not ready to do this. Else you'll end up with a heap in your driveway, and an engine in the garage, and you'll end up selling it out of frustration.

You can fit any b series motor in your car....but you'll need the matching b series brackets and mounts, ECU, axles, shift linkage and tranny...this includes a b16a3 (the motor that came in the DOHC del sols).
The only motor you can drop in your car without any modification is another d series motor.
Your ECU is OBDI, so if you wanted to go with a GSR, 94-96 GSRs would be the easier route because they are OBDI...someone correct me if I'm wrong. You can also install 97+ GSR motors in your car, but they are OBDII so you'd either have to buy an ECU converter, or change the distributor and injectors.
Or another option is to turbo your current motor. I'm sure the z6 Greddy kit or the Apex'i kit would fit on your d7 with some minor modification.
