If you have the skills and time for a swap, I would consider the engine from a sixth gen HX Civic (D16Y5), married to the tranny from a fifth gen VX Civic. The sixth gen is OBD2 and will support aftermarket onboard computers such as Ultra Gauge, which will be one of the best "mods" you ever do. The HX engines are more common and probably more often have lower mileage. And the HX engine has other features (two O2 sensors and EGR, I think) not on the older VX engines. But the VX tranny has taller gearing, though the HX is quite good too. The fourth gen HF Civic had the tallest, but its rare and I'm not sure it mates-up with the later Civics (?). For the engine, make sure you get the Federal version, because lean burn was not allowed in Cali and the Cali versions therefore don't have it.
Good luck! Please keep EM posted with your progress. We love photos!
