You have three options, two easy, one hard.

Easy #1: Sell your DX and buy an '86-87 Si. Drop in a fuel injected browntop ZC.

Easy #2: Harrass an importer into finding you a carburated browntop ZC. Drop that into your DX.

Hard #3: Convert your entire car to fuel injection using all the Si parts, including the gas tank, pump, and lines. Then drop in a fuel injected browntop ZC.

The parts will "fall in," yes. The vacuum lines and boxes, as well as rewiring the chassis will probably leave you crying like a baby, madly flipping through pages of a Factory Service Manual trying to figure out what's going on... You basically have to rip apart the entire engine bay and undercarraige of two cars and reassemble one's guts in another's body.

If you are really mechanically and electrically inclined, it shouldn't be that much a problem. If not, you're in for a hell'of'a good time.

Usually you're a lot less colorful when you crush somebody's aspirations.
