unless you really know/trust the person selling it or can see it running.. I would stay away from a B18a1. thats a 19-22 year old motor.. only reason i would get one would be just for a complete rotating assembly to start a build with (forged rods/pistons/complete rebuild) but i wouldn't pay $300 for it.. especially when you can get a JDM B18b/B20 w/ low miles and a warranty for a couple hundred more.
there are THOUSANDS of threads out there that completely outline how to do a B swap.. even a few on here

...from HMO's website a B20 costs right at $800 shipped. as for the age comment, the SIR1 B16's are the same price and tend to go for a lil more cash off HMO.
If you're able to do a compression test on the engine, and the test results come back good. then I'd buy it for $300, but of course I'd try to talk him down.
to make the engine work in the EG, you'd need a 94+ b series hydro transmission, motor mounts, 94+ Integra axles and intermediate shaft, rear mount bracket, shift linkage, OBD1 ECU (PR4, P75 or a chipped P06/P28).
JUICE is right, there are a few threads on the internet on how to swap an engine into your car.
You may be new to swaps, but you're still able to search the internet...
