Default What is a good engin to drop into a 97 civic coupe

Can someone help me, I'm trying to find a good engin to buy to put in my 97 dx civic. What is a really good engin out there that will fit in with no problems.

Any B series motor will bolt up using 99-00 Si mounts. However, in those lead sled 96-00 coupes, for daily drivability I would suggest an H22 swap.
