yes sohfast is reputable. jerome is fine, there are other which are as good search around.

for daily driving na power of the b18c can't be beat. its much more reliable, easier on the wallet

instead of going to a shop to install it, try hooking up with people on H-T in your area to help you put it in. Its much more rewarding if u do it yourself or with the help of friendly H-T members.

H22 would is a great swap to put into a 5th or 6th gen civic. Just do a search on H-T to find out what you would be getting into. It is more work than a B-series, but if researched and done correctly it isn't too hard.
