yeah I just need a swap in general, I have nothing.

JDM or USDM.

the JDM motors do have more compression...must yield to some kind of gain.

yes, they have a slightly higher compression, but aren't they also tuned for the higher octane available in japan?

yeah I heard osaka sucked years ago but I guess they are still the same lol...

if any of you guys have a shortblock or longblock...that'll work too

I have everything else. I just need a short block, but I'm looking for anything.

JDM engines are made in spec for the fuel in Japan...

get a spoon crate motor if you want high compression...

Go with Hmotors - I think everyone that I know with honda swaps have purchased engines from them.
