Default Cable or Hydraulic

I have a 92 Civic Si (EG6). Some people say that I can either do a Cable or Hydraulic B16A swap. But some say I can only do a Hydraulic swap (i.e. Sir2 only). May I know who is right?

Thanks

Can you eloborate on that legal issue? What exactly would make the swap illegal? Thanks

in california it is illegal to put an older engine in to your car. the cable tranny B16s are the 1st gen B16s and are over 12 years old. they came in the 2nd gen integra and 4th gen civic SiRs. HASport makes kits to put these older engines into the EGs. Get the hydrolic B16a SiRII. you won't need the kit to swap it. Don't get an ancient engine(SiR1) that you don't know the history about.

I understand that it is always nice to find a good complete front clip for swap. But just in case I need to get the parts seperately. What exactly should I get besides the engine, tranny, and ECU? Thanks
