easy swap or not?

Hey everyone.

Well, I've been looking at a few different cars, including the Honda del Sol. The thing is, I'm on a pretty tight budget, so this car is a bit expensive for me, and the ones in my price range all have pretty high mileage (of course, that's expected for a car that old).

Anyways, I was thinking that I could just do an engine swap once that engine dies or what not. So would it be a fairly simple swap to put one of those 3 stage vtec engines (d15b) into a non-vtec 95 del Sol? Or would there be lots of problems with that, as the stock engine would either not be vtec or just a sohc vtec?

Thanks a bunch!

its easy if youre comfortable with pulling a motor, and putting in a VTEC one... also may need to add some wires to make the VTEC ECU youre going to need work.
