DX to LX engine swap

ok I have a 92 DX and I want to put an LX engine in it. What problems might face in doing thi, esp. electronic wise. Do I need a new wiring harness or ECU? If anyone knows of any helpful web sites of books (other than Haynes) I can use that would be very helpful

You can use the SOHC harness with a DOHC motor. Here's a link:
Good Info

You will need the LX ECU though.
