Finally buying swap...having dillema..HELP
Whats going on people...after a year i finally got the money to go ahead and swap my engine. I own a 97 EK and this is my first swap so lemme explain my dillema.
im looking to purchase a B16 for my car from a ligit company online that sells full swaps (any sites you guys got would help much). So after shopping around i relized that most companies only have the Civic type r swap for my year which is TOTALY out of my price range. Im looking for a regular SI swap from a 96-00 civic. Its hard to find these. If i were to buy a 92-95 B16 swap what obstacles will i be encountering and how good of an idea is this. I heard that the best way to go is to get a motor either the year of your car or newer. I can spend up to 2300 on the swap alone so please help me out if you can.

If you dont want a JDM engine I would go here: http://www.evansautomotive.net/engineprices.html That's where I am getting my engine from. It includes EVERYTHING you need for the swap.

hmotorsonline, jhpusa.com. both very good. Does your car go through inspection? If so, having an older motor than the car will be a problem. Other than that, you'll be ok.

Hope your doing the swap on your own, cause the motor alone will run you around 2300. FYI
