if you have the browntop thats outa a 1st gen crx/1st gen integra.... i know this block because my buddy showed me the difference once and the way he ended up putting it in his 2nd gen rex was pretty much make a custom mount and even then it dosent look right...to tell you the truth it wont fit unless you do some fair amount of fab work and even then i do believe the distributor is different from the rest the engine you have more closely resembles our d16a1 here in the u.s. what you want is the 88-91 or 92-95 dohc zc to make this easy and practically a drop in situation. not saying your engine wont work its just going to take alot more work then just getting another dohc zc
also its kind of weird if the stock engine is a d15b2 in that crx but if its in your car ok i understand now....
other issues youll encounter since this will of coarse if you still plan on using it be a pain in the rear
the transmission unless you do a custom job you cant use any other then that one you got out of the crx which also entails that the mounts are also different from the eg or ef if you look at flyingryans build he uses the same trans you have but has to do custom work to get it to work in his civic the other issue you might run into is that the trans is cable while on egs its hydro....so you got that mess to deal with as well....
helpful link at least you can somewhat use the head off the engine

also try the good ole
thezcr.com
good reference for dohc d's and also
redpepperracing.com
i wanted to do a dohc zc swap in my hatch once but ended up not doing it but ive worked with dohc zcs a few times and swapped one into my buddies ef hatch so i will say this save yourself the headace and get a different dohc zc 88-95 or just stay sohc this way may save you alot more as well....
and if your car is obd0 with the dpfi setup which i remember the d15b2 having stock you may want to convert to mpfi and youll definitely experience alot more power
hope this helps and i hope im referring to the right engine from what you said since the d16a1 dohc zc which 1stgen crx/integra have their mounts infront of the engine not to the side like you need it
