Default is this the easiest swap for a 89 civic hatch

or should i wait for an LS motor, does the torque in the LS better than the horsepower the b16 offers

hahah you just opened a can of worms, it's a non stop debate, search up and make up your own mind what works better for you.

LS will be easier then a b16 *just because of vtec wiring and thats far from hard*

So i'd put them on the same level for a swap.

good luck

i would go with the LS cuz you can always add a vtec head later

its way more expensive for the ls than the b16 thru hmotors, this car wont be driven much except for in the winter and i plan on goin turbo anyway is why i was thinking of b16 jus because thats the motor that was originally in the car in japan so i figured it was easier
