Default help with swap

I have a 94 ex, i lost my licsense till around xmas but anyways i wanna swap out the d16 for either b16 or h22. I kno the b16 is MUCH MUCH easier and probably cheaper in the long run too, but i also kno if done right the h22 in an ex will b bomb! high 13s stock from what i hear. But to my question....what should i do cuz i rly like both motors, but don't really have the fab skills to inatall an h22. Cutting, trimming, welding ect...for the cable linkage re-roughting hoses, blah blah ya. So what ahould i do? Go for 13s or 15s is basically what i'm looking at right?

Look at the top of this forum, there is a sticky there about engine swaps for a reason.

You could do the H22 swap but even just the mounts alone would take up a big chunk of the budget. If you have connections to buy a cheap B16, do it. The mounts for the b swap are easy to come by and the actual installation is much easier. The B16 does make good power for it's size, but you do have to rev the **** out of it to go anywhere. The H22 would be hella quick, and much more fun IMO.
