civickidd99

I have a 1999 civic ex that I picked up REALLY cheap and am now tryingto get some opinoins on what to do with it. I live in an area with little to no swap shops, so this is going to be a pboblem, I'm not forsure if I want to build the internals of mine or just swap in a diff. motor all together. If there are pros and cons to keeping my motor let me know, and if there is a swap that won't require a chit load of money say it. Also, is there anything that I can do just to the top side of my motor that could help me out? Thanks in advance!!!!

it all depends on how much money you got cheif.... i would swap in a b-series.. but you can make that sohc fast... just all depends on what you want.good luck with whatever you do.

money is going to be a factor, but not enough to keep me from building. So, here's my next question, would it be cheaper to build a sohc, (daily driver, needs reliability), or just go swap?

how much power are you looking to make? do you want a track car or more of a high way car.?

i need something in town and for highway, not going to see much track time, but just enough to leave some people behind, (mainly people who some consider ricers).

i would say go with a ls or b20 turbo set up.... you can make good power on the stock motor and it might help in the show department..
