ok, i'm considering dropping a b16 into my 95 civic...just a couple questions
first, which b16 should i use? whats the best engine to use..keep in mind, price, availability (dont want to import it, maybe get it off ebay or from a junkyard), power, etc...
what model and year should i get this engine from?


also, if i were to drop a b16 in, and i got a header for it, would it fit ok? i dont mean on the engine itself but with the shape of the car?

i read that already...
what im looking for is, what cars, (besides that jdm bullcrap) and the 99/00 si can i find a good one in? or is the 99/00 si my only good option for a good usdm motor?...and what about switching my obd1 to obd2 ,is it hard?

Only 2 cars were released in the US with a factory B16... 99-00 Civic Si (B16A2) & the 94-97 Del Sol VTEC (B16A3-OBD1 94-95 & B16A2-OBD2 96-97). If you can find a legit B16A3 then you can stay OBD1 and avoid all of the OBD2a or b change over crap.
