B16A is a great choice. The engine is not that expensive and is the bestbet for that car, or don't sleep on the LSTURBO setup. With any engine you get make sure you refresh the entire engine while it is not in the engine. PLUGS/DISTRIB/ even chk. the internals or cyl. for compression and leak. If your looking into getting a swap stop by the shop and we can talk about the pros and cons of each engine. Info is listed in my sig. or you can call the number in my avatar. Hope that helps. crs
