Probably the only direct fit would be the 1.5 or 1.6 CRX engine and if it was outfitted the same as the original in regards to Federal or CA emissions.  
A quick look shows different halfshaft and fuel injector part numbers even between those 2 engines so it’s anybody’s guess.

Anything else is possible but that’s going to depend on your mechanical aptitude and bank account; preferably a fat bank account because when it comes to adapting there is no end to the what-ifs.

It’s not worth the effort unless you find an EXACT replacement. And even then it’s dicey…
