I'd give your spare B16 a careful looking over. Perhaps hook a starter up to it so you can spin it round quicker and give it a compression test. If it seems healthy just put it in. Probably a not bad idea to pull the head and inspect the bores for evil looking things (like evidence of cracked rings or excessive wear). Possibly pull the oil pan and at least eyeball the bottom end. I don't know if it would be worth the effort of pulling the rod and main bearings apart to have a look at them - I'd just guess that if the cylinder bores looked reasonably decent that the bottom end probably is in decent shape too.
