Default Swapping difficulty

How hard it is to swap an LS or any other B-series motor in a Civic with all the proper tools, and if you're a newbie?

Thanks.

If you can take out the stock motor and put it back in then you can do the swap. Just look in a repair manual on steps to remove and install a factory engine. If that looks like something that you can do then you can do the swap.

As long as you have a cherry picker, a 32mm, 17mm deep, 14mm deep, breaker bar, jack stands and some kind of ball joint puller, it is very easy

Exactly It will take a little wiring depending on which motor you go with, but all in all the B swaps are easy.

My buddy did a ls swap on his 90 civic and it turned out very suprising!
He's turbo'ing it soon.
