D15B1 for D15B7 and D16A6 Engine Swap

Long time no see... Too bad as it was supposed to be my tool keep track of things. And things got out of control...
What is new?
Upholstery department: will be getting civic si pans hopefully soon from Mike (what an excellent trade idea that was), and if they bolt right in - I will put my crx seats in. Other option - hmmm, I bought a set of leather seats from saturn ion in an excellent shape, and super comfy. Of course pans and rails do not match so I will have to think about it... (Picture coming soon...)

Mechanics: Picked up this engine swap - that was supposed to be D16A6, but it turned out to be D15B7 block with D16A6 head. I am still trying to figure out how much power/efficiency I will get from this thing cause opinions are mixed. It might be close to 102hp just like stock D15B7. I wouldn't mind a few ponies more.
I have taken a bunch of pictures so I should probably glue them in here.

I also joined multiple blog sites, some better then the others, but definitely a great way to find answers to some questions and encouragement for the build.
