Default new guy and my hatch

Ok i have a 92 civic vx Milano red(MY first car)
i've done a couple of things to it.

List of things done:
-lowered on tokico w/ megan racing coils
-Greddy evo2 w/ 2.5 in piping
-mudguards
-dc sport strut brace
-datum1 tow hook
-foglights(need to be wired)
-cf duckbill
-polished up the valve cover
-window visors
pretty much it..

now the questions:
-around how much $ will a drum to disk conversion cost me
(me doing the work)
-what would be a good cheap swap for my vx

heres some pics:

If you do the work yourself and find the parts at a junkyard then it shouldnt cost you much more than $200 or so.

But you will notice little to no difference in a rear disk conversion unless you take the car to the track alot, and even then the only difference is brakes fading a bit with heat.

but it is much easier to change disk pads then drum shoes.

B-series swap of the 1.8 or 2.0 variety would be the way to go for cheap...
