Default H22 swap into... what?

Hey guys! I've only posted on here once or twice before so I'm new, but I think I read all the rules.

Anyways, I've got a 1997 Prelude (Base) with the H22A4. I really like the engine but the Prelude itself is just too heavy! I really would like to do a swap but I'm stuck at what to swap it into. I really wanted to swap into a Del Sol, assuming it was light but someone told me they're rather heavy actually. So now I'm stuck between a 96-00 Hatch or Coupe, or staying with the Del Sol.

What do you guys think?


NOTE: My plan is to go mostly motor with a light weight car. Right now I've got a catback + testpipe. After I do the swap I plan on buying a DC header, so I have the full exhaust, and then buying a carbon fiber trunk and hood, and light weight wheels.

Now my friend is telling me to hold off and wait and save up ~$7,000. He said we can do a swap with a K20A2 into a EG6.
