MyCrappyAccord

My 1997 Honda Accord is running on its last leg, and I want to be prepared when the engine craps out. I was wanting to keep her going, even when the engine dies, because she is my first car. I was looking at different forums but i cant seem to find a good answer to What engine to swap. I have heard people talking about swapping newer accords j30, and others say B18B, or K20. I dont really have the money to B18, or K20 swap as they can be very expensive. Im on a budget, and was thinking swapping either the original motor back in f22B2 or putting in the V6 C27?

P.S. This is how i got the car, and i have changed nothing. The cars was given to me by my uncle and i am paying on it. If y'all need more pictures let me know i can take more

Personally i would go with a stock f22b2..around here in Chattanooga Tennessee you can find part cars with good engines complete for 300 to 600 with bad transmission or wrecked but good engines and still have the luxury of having some extra parts..good luck..i have this 1997 special edition i picked up for $500 with 92,000 miles
