rywire.com has conversion harnesses. You really do not need to by a conversion harness. As stated above it can be a pain in the ass to do if you are not good a wiring. I have done a few so, it is not bad for me. You will need 4 injector clips and a good amount of new wire.
I would convert it to OBD1 while you are doing the swap for future plan if there are any.

Wrong.
The Si Harness just doesn't "plug up"
you have to hack the perfectly good Si harness up and convert it to MPFI from DPFI.
OP, this is a lot more work involved than you may think...
I've done plenty of these swaps and conversions, it can be a headache your first couple times in.

Well If you do not have the cash to do the SOHC swap then you will not have the cash to do the b-series.
You need to go to hasport.com and look at the parts needed to do the swap. You will new mounts, shift linkage, ect. Plus the wiring.

I know, I don't plan on doing the swap anytime soon, but I just heard b-series obd1 is easier, so when I get money, that's my plan.
Thanks everyone!
