No clue yet. I am in the middle of all of my research as to what will fit me best. I am thinking some type of DOHC non-vtec with parts readily available in the US & decent fuel economy. I want to get my hands on the correct motor, trans, and everything needed. Rebuild it all, start from brand spankin new. We put a ninth bay in my shop this week, so I'll have the room. I am pretty damn good with VW's but I am new to the Honda scene. I know alot about maintenance, but very little about performance, especially motor swaps. I am learnin a little more every day. I actually think my next step is going to be putting MPFI on my lil 1.5 so it can be all ready for the swap.

This is true. I am waiting for that reason. Gonna gather everything up and be ready for a slight decrease in fuel economy and a slight increase in power.

Will do. I am now out of stuff to do. I think I am just gonna keep my eyes open for a rear disc swap and get that all knocked out. Too bad the local Honda/Acura wrecked closed up.

My lighter was all plug and play and I had to do no epoxying.
