Default If I wanted a drag car...

Hey guys, I'm new here, I've been contemplating for a while getting a fun little car I could make into a good drag car, but that could also be driven on the streets of cali. I have always liked the looks of I think the 95ish civic hb and heard they are one of the lightest hondas besides a crx, and I'm not too into those. Which engine swap would be good considering I don't have all the money in the world and I'd probably want to go fi but no nitrous? All the research I did back in the day was before the k20 was even around, so I know nothing about the newer engines...anyone care to be creative and share some info with me? Thanks

get a k20 your runn 13 or 12 if i belive.....but it cost a grip around 7k for whole swap....or you could just buy a b18c1 and get a turbo kit for it...cost about the same as the k20...

Hmm, k20 sounds like its got a lot of potential to be thrown into one of these little cars. That would be pretty damn cool, thanks for the link.
