Default 93 Civic LX - questions about possible engine swaps and mods

Hello everyone! First timer here; wanted to give a little background and ask for some help!

So 4 years ago, my little brother was murdered. He had a 1993 Civic LX that he LOVED. Unfortunately shortly after getting it he passed away and wasn't able to do anything that he wanted to do to it. I own a G35 and admittedly know absolutely nothing about Civics aside from the fact that civic owners love civics and that they're super fun to work on.

Anywho, my plan is to work on his car with my other brother and eventually turn it into something awesome that we will both have fun driving, have fun working on, and at the same time, do it for our brother that passed away. We definitely want to do an engine swap (though we can't do this ourselves) but with that included, I'm just looking for some suggestions and an order list of what to do!

If we're getting an engine swap, what are some suggestions? and should this come first?

After or before that, what should we tackle? Exhausts? Intakes? Suspension?

Thanks SO much ahead of time guys, we really appreciate this.

Well it's always best to make sure your suspension and chassis are straight first.


Wouldn't wanna swap a GSR in it then can't drive it because all your shocks and ball joints are blown. Or bet ya wouldn't feel safe popping vtec with a bent subframe and unbalanced wheels.
