Forum Newb with a swap question Please Read

Heyas, I own a 91 CRX si with 189k miles on it. I got the car 2 years ago with the intent of doing a swap and many other mods. To date i have replaced all of the bushings in the suspension, installed an intake and exhaust, Short throw shifter and other small mods. Last night i blew my timing belt so now my hand has been forced on the engine. I had origionaly intended to do an LS Block and B16 head hybrid swap mainly for the tourqe but that has suddenly become impractical. So here is where I need help. I need to do an engine ASAP.
I have read any thread i could find referencing anything dealing with my situation and I have concerns about who I buy my components from. Due to Price constraints I think I want to get a "B16A Gen1 Complete Swap w/LSD" from (http s://passwordjdm.com/). From my reading it seems like Hmotorsonline would be a better choice but they dont describe what the engine comes with as well .
So far my list of needed items is:
Engine with Tranny (LSD prefered)
Hasport engine mounts for the swap

Still looking for info on:
Wiring needs
Axel needs
Shift linkage needs

What im looking for from this post is opinions and knowledge.
Opinons:
Is this a reputable company, or should i use Hmotorsonline?
Opinions on this engine/tranny in a 91 CRX si.

Knowledge:
WHat else do i need and what problems have people encountered.
I have had a subscription to Honda Tuning and SCC for the past 2 years and have many other magazines from the past 3 years if you know of any specific articals off the top of your head to walk me through it.
Thanks for your time, I'm over this at the moment.

hmm www.zerolift.com

give them a call, they can hook you up with everything you will need.

Most swaps Come with ECU, and axles. As far as shift linake, I am not sure if its a direct bolt but it should come with the swap.

spent all day tring to find a step by step guide to use to perform the swap and a actual shopping list of exactly what i need for the swap and im not having success. Quite a few of these websites selling "complete swap" packages dont specify if the axels are what i need for my specific car and the same with the rest of the stuff. I have read so many different guides in the past and cant find any of it now that i need to actualy do the swap. Any help out there?

Well I got the old engine out with minimal dificulty last weekend and expected my engine last week.. due to out of stock parts shipping was delayed and it should be here this week. Seems I am missing one part for the moment (throtle cable) so i need to drop by the dealer for one I believe I need a 91 integra cable. Im getting excited to have my car back (though driving the little woman's 92 Prelude si isnt so bad realy).
Saw a brake kit in the adult toys section of the new Honda Tuning magazine tonight... think i might order that ASAP as it dont stop for shit as it is and im making it faster
Hopefully i will be back on here in a few days ranting about how smooth the swap went and how fast the car is...

and if you still wanted ls/vtec, im sure you could find a donor block for cheap and you can take your time and build it up.
