Default Which engine would u pic?

I found a JDM B16A3 full engine swap for 2800 but I found a B16B for 3800 which would you pick for a 98 DX? Any other suggestions would be good too.

none of them for that price u could get a b18c1 and if u look more u could find a b18c5 for the price of 3500$
even with 185 hp and that toque it doesnt compare to that b18c1/5

b16 = toqueless y00 !

for that price range u can easily scoop up a h22a. 200hp 150+ torq. stock, u cant go wrong. and its cheaper than a b18c1 swap.

To be honest it all depends on your plans. If you want cheap horsepower, mod ur D16. If you want the bling and bragging rights, and not to mention VTC louder than a Subaru exhaust, get the CTR motor. If you have high ambitions for the car, then the B18C is what you are looking for.
