Default Obd-i -> Obd-ii

I've been looking for an engine to replace mine. The few places I've found that will sell just the engine tend to only have pre-1995 long blocks. Will all of my OBD-II sensors bolt right up to a pre-95 engine, or is any modification necessary? Its a B18C1.
Thanks in advance.

Going with an OBD-I setup is impractical, by the way, as I've got the AEM ecu for the 98's.

I believe most of the changes in wiring from the OBDI to OBDII setups are in the plugs that connect the harness to the ECU. One thing that is different is that you have two oxygen sensors with your OBDII setup but conceivably if you keep the same exhaust tract those will remain.

You may want to check out www.car-part.com. They're an online listing of salvage yards throughout the country, I can't imagine not being able to find a newer motor on that site.

Just a thought If i had a obd 2 engine and bolted up an obd 1 comp what will happen? would it be faster because the computer doesnt read the sensors?

No, it would just run like normal assuming the OBD1 computer had everything that it needs hooked up properly.
