Default thinking of a h2b motor

first of all its going on a 2000 civic coupe
already have a 2001 b18c motor w/ 98 itr tranz
might put a b16a head

BUTT

was wondering if h2b motor is worth it?
want 2 go bigger than 2.0 but not a k series
dont want to spend to much money
and what harness and mounts to use on the swap?

A H2B swap is not a good idea if you're on a budget

But yeah, search is your friend

use your same harness and extend some wires and the same mounts if they are aftermarket or upgrad em if they arent. B series mounts

dude i love h22s but i wouldnt go through the trouble of swaping it if i already had a great motor like a gsr.his question is if it is worth it and its not because it not a huge power jump or anything but if u can sell ur current setup and cover the expense of buying and swaping the h22 then id say do it if u have time in ur hands.
