Default best motor to swap into a 92 civic

i have a 92 civic and i was thinking about a b16a, but i don't want to be like every civic around. my buddy does alot of swaps and said he could do an h22a. but i wanted this swap to be a learning experiance. mainly what motor should i use.

i guess ill tell you before everyone else does..."there is a sticky for this dude."

there is no best engine....different engines suit different applications...(IE) b18b1 great for boost etc etc...

PS every swap is a learning experience

No torque. You can build an allmotor application from a b 16 but it will suffer off the line.

To be honest do the H22a with a b series tranny and you will be smoking tires as long as you want.

h22a + ITR tranny = awesome
