b18b into a 91 rt4wd

My 91 rt4wd has over 200,000 on the clock. It runs strong but I'm looking to pick up another engine. I found a b18b that a friend of mine has. It doesn't have a trans with it though.
I've decide to pull the rt4wd stuff (missing the rear driveshaft anyhow) to drop all that extra weight.
Will the b18b hook up to the trans that's in my car now. Do I need to find another trans. My shifter is cable shifter, if I do have to change out the trans will the cable shifter work.
Basicly what all am I looking at in this swap?
If theres better swap options for the rt4wd let me know. I like the idea of the extra torque of the ls motor. I'd like to find a tow hitch for my wagon so I can pull my small dirtbike trailer. I figure I'll need the torque for towing.
And yes, I've been using the search button. and haven't found much swap info for the rt4wd.

Your gong to have to move the tranny hanger or make a custom tranny mount for a b-series tranny to bolt into the car. Youll also need to modify the rear crossmember to get the rear torque mount to work as well. That alone shold be enough to stay d-series. If you need more convincing, just let me know.
i say do a DOHC ZC swap.. almost the same power as a B18A1... plus you can keep 4WD.
