Ok now step back and think about this,
we have no idea about you what you have in the way of money how much work you are willing to put into the car what you will be using the car for, what you want to do to the car after swap if anything.

You just asked us what is good?

That is about the same as walking into a food court and saying I want something that will taste yummy.

Meaning your question sucks, refine it we arnt mind readers.

Well, he could cut the roof off and put on a ragtop. That would help with getting rid of weight too...

leave the guy alone, you were in his shoes at one time help him out, idk why people have to be so lame cause they know more than a noob, in my opinion i would do an ls/vtec cause that car is soooo light the power would overwhelm the weight

Yeah, we are busting because he asked for a reference/idea for a motor with no idea on what he is looking for in a motor. Then on top of that his user name has H22 in it.
