Default EM2's an easy motorswap?

I've heard that the 01+ EM2s are easy to swap motors into, is this true? I'd like to get a nice motor dropped into my car if so!

It's a 160 hp motor right? Hmm thats not bad. But is it really worth paying that kind of bucks for 33 hp more than my EX vtec? I'd love a type-s motor, 200 hp is more like it!

People pay 5k + for 96-00 B18C swaps. I'm sure they'll find plenty of people to pay 6500 for that.

i thought kseries swaps were pricey due to the amount of fabrication that needs to be done? for the extra ponies...i would buck up.
