Default LS swap into a 95 civic ex

I have been trying to decide what swap to get for months. Im still not sure what I want but I have been told by many people that a b18b is a good solid engine though not v-tec....is this a good engine...if so what kind of times would you expect me to run in the 1/4th 17's???and what is a good pricee for the ls

1500 max for entire swap. i would do a junk yard grab. you can look at the miles and such. and see why it was taken out the teggie to begin with. about it being a good engine. its a honda. its awesome for supping up w/o all the money of a gsr. it has awesome aftermarket support. turbo's are easy as **** to come by. it has more torque than a gsr. if built correctly it can outperform a vtec engine. people get hung up on vtec: but remember vtec is not the end all, be all answer to all your hp needs, proper maintaince, care, and tuning is!

it has more torque than a gsr
???

When did 127 at 5200 become more than 128 at 6200?

I'm not saying its not a good engine. It is, and built properly, it can outperform a stock GSR motor, but it does NOT have more torque than a GSR.
