Use the intake manifold and distributor from your blown motor so that way you can convert it to EFI and it'll still run pretty much the same.

Are you sure you don't have a d15b7 in your vehicle now?

I hope you dint get your motor off of ebay and from a guy in Richmond Va. I ordered two different motors from him and both had bad engine knock as soon as i started them.(Main Bearings) He would not replace them. But back to your question, 92 had a d15b7 engine in it and all you have to do is use your intake, exhaust manifolds and distributor.

Not all 92 civics have d15b7's. There are about 3 or 4 different engines that it could have.

D15b2's are from 88-91 though.
