Default about to buy 05 civic ex special edition coupe, what engine swap is available for it?

im about to buy a 05 civic ex special edition coupe.. i like everything on it other than the 127 hp pretty slow =/ so thinking about doing an engine swap or something... from what i know b20vtec is only like 147, is it a good idea to go for that? or what other good choices are available? and whats the price gonna be?

k series swap is probably the best one out there. but since you dont have the car yet, why not consider buying an RSX-S or something w/ more horsepower to begin with rather than swapping out a brand new motor on a brand new car.

first of all, why would you want to buy an 05 and want to swap out the motor. might as well get a used car to save money, then swap. otherwise i'd say what everyone else is suggesting and save a little more for a car you want, or has decent power.
