A civic is pretty much the route to go. Lots of 'em, cheap, and they will perfectly fit your B-series. Plus, they're relatively lightweight. You can do a 5th gen and use all stock parts to fit the engine in or go 4th gen and need a few custom parts to fit them in (engine mounts, etc).

But it is YOUR decision. I'd read up and see what other people have done and find what fits best.
