99 civic swap
Ok I have a 99 civic si that I have had forever and wondered if it is worth it to put a motor swap in. I have about 2000 dollars and was going to do a B16 sir swap from that year. The transmission went out and the motor isn't doing the best. Just wondering if doing the swap would be worth it or should I just part the car out.

I wonder were the best place to get a swap from. I will pay a little bit more to get a motor I know is going to be in good condition and will run.

Re: 99 civic swap
another torque less b16 which is overrated hype is not worth it. If your just wanting to swap something in and add power later id just get a cheap ls or b20 motor and put a vtec head on it. just dont rev it like its a b16 keep the rev limiter stock around 6500-6700. that would be the better option then buying another b16

Rebuild the head, slap in on a B20 block, problem solved. I found a B20 "swap" on eBay earlier for $900 with 30-day warranty. JHP has really great sales on their SuperTech VT combo, ou should stay in your budget.
