1. short block is just the block and everything inside the block, no head, no tranny, etc.
2. b16a1 has a cable tranny and b16a2 has hydro tranny
3. same head. cams may be a little different, but not by much

there is an obd2 to obd1 conversion harness available. but you should just get a b16a2 to make it easier on yourself on the wiring, tranny.

out here in cali, the engine has to be the same year or newer to pass visual. dont know about where you are.
