Default B18C5 into a 01CivicLX4drAT SWAP

I have a 01CivicLX4drAT, I would like to swap it with a B18C5 or a K20A type S.
Which is the most least expensive swap and have these swaps been done if so what kind of things should I look out for if I want to have a successful swap.
if you have any insight on this swap I would appreciate it.

C5 would probably be cheaper since the 01 civic still have the same mount style and the engine spinning the same way...

with a K series, the whole motor is turned around, exhaust is on the firewall side and the intake is on the radiator support side....

tranny is also on the OTHER side and is all backwards vs the regular vtec motors.

I'd look more into a C5 swap.
