Default h22a or b16a2

i have a 94 civic ex coupe and i was wondering what would be better a b16a2 swap or a h22a swap. i could get a h22 for $2050 but i would need to get motor mounts and i could get a b16a2 for $2450. i was wondering y the h22 motor is cheaper also. and what swap would be more expensive and what else would i need to get if i did a h22a swap and would i need to get anything else i did the b16a2 swap. i would get the motors from http://www.jspecautosports.com/jas/html/honda.html
thanks

As a former h22 owner. I would just stick with plain old B16. Too many down sides to an h22

Speaking from experience, I went from(in my 92 hatch SI) stock D16z6, to a B16a2, and finally to my current H22. I installed everything myself, so as far as a a b16 being "harder" than a h22 swap, that is BS. The h will require a little cutting, but thats easy(and fun ), other than that a swap is a swap! The diff between the the two is night and day. Go with a H, by FAR the best bang for the buck. And call Steve at hmotorsonline.com his motors are real clean! Good luck...
