91 transmission swap, need help

I recently purchased a 91 civic dx with a 4-speed transmission. I would like to put a 5-speed in it. does anyone have any good ideas on what a good 5-speed would be to put in it?

thanks in advance

Are you comfortable tearing a transmission apart and replacing guts (bearings/gears/etc) ? If you've never dropped a tranny expect to spend an entire weekend if you do it by yourself.

Aim for an Si transmission or authentic ZC.

Even if I just wanted to do a straight swap I'd have to take it apart?

If you get a whole tranny then you don't have to tear it apart. I was asking if you felt comfortable because you could just take the 4-speed apart and add the needed parts to transform into 5-speed.
