Default Motor Swap hepl please...

Hi all, I am new to these forums and I posted this just now in the wrong forum. I didnt see the hybrid forum. Anyway, I got a 98 Civic HX. I am looking to do a motor swap. I was thinking of getting the B18C5. Is thisd a good choice? Or would there be a better motor to get? Money shouldnt be an issue. Also, If anyone knows the best places to order this from I would appreciate that too. Thanks for your time.

Yes a B18C5 is the best Engine WITH the least hassle.

There are other choices but they are either less performance or More complicated to work on the swap.

I know that ard performance sells the JDM B18C5 motor, tranny, and ECU for about $6300.00 delivered. The website is http://www.ardperformance.com so check it and let me know how it goes.

I just found a better place for motors than ard. It is http://www.hondamotorsonline.com. It is a complete Type-R change over.
