Default need opinions

ok, so i've got my 92 dx with 108,xxx miles on it. What should i do:
A.) keep saving for a b18c1 swap
B.) get a d16z6 or d16y8 swap now, and turbo it later
C.) Sell my dx, and try to find one that has a blown engine for cheap, then used the extra money to do the b18c1 swap
also, where would i look for a civic w/o an engine, or with engine damage?
let me know what u think
thanks

well I would suggest since you're in the market for a new engine, might as well save a little more for the B18C. I have the D16Y8 and at times I wish I had a DOHC engine.

Unless you want to swap yourself..I say sell your car and buy one that already has the swap. If you feel like it later, pull it and change the oil, just so you know whats up with it. You'll save money from the swap, and it's all set to go. JMO

If you own a car, sell it right now dude. That's just about the stupidest thing i've ever heard. Duh i'm going to swap it myself, what's the point of paying a shop a grand to do it, and learn nothing? Geez i cant believe people like you. Doing stuff on my car is what keeps me going when i'm at work, knowing that when i get home, i can work on my car. I would never let anyone else work on it. GO HOME
