should I

(3) throw in my B16A (not really wanting to go this way because of GAS)

I really thought about throwing in my B16A but from what I've heard the gear ratio's are really short and if it's any thing like the 99si I used to own then I'm afraid it'll eat gas like crazy,does anyone know about the b16's tranny ratio's and could possibly point me in the right direction? secondly I wonder how hard (if possible) would it be to install the 5th gear from a LS tranny into mine (for the record my tranny is cable ,dunno if that matters)

I'm really concidering rebuilding my D that in the crx now...ohh yeah WILL any D swap into the CRX ??? or is it to much hassle??

thanks for any help you guys can offer!!!!!
1. start looking of good d series motor.
2. its not worth the time and money to rebuild.
3. its a honda there all good on gas.
