Default 98 Civic hatch with stock d16y7 - ideas for a swap?

Hey guys, so I'm kind of new to the Honda scene and I want to beg up my engineer or swap it in general. I've got a 98 hatch with a stock d16y7. What engine do you guys suggest? Also dies anyone know of any good shops in the Portland area?

When will people learn?

Budget, goals, wants, needs. These are all things we need to know before we go telling you what to drop in.

**** it. Get a C32 and swap it in.

Haha sorry about the spelling, it was a late night. I've been saving for a while got about a grand saved up. I want it to be able to pull strongly but nothing to insane. I also want to keep some mpgs for daily use. I was thinking about a z6 but not sure. What do you guys think.

"pull strongly" and sohc should not be paired together unless the sohc is boosted

As far as shops in portland area, there are many...
vip performance
pre racing
horsepower freaks
360 imports (vancouver)
Forged Performance (troutdale)

You aren't going to get pull out of a Z6 for a grand. You aren't going to get any real pull for a grand.
