you will need either a 2000 model year or older Civic or a K-series engine.

no one will be able to tell you what you need because no one knowledgeable about doing a swap on a Honda/Acura would choose to do what you're planning.

The "B" series engine/trans would be a really challenging swap... custom mounts would have to be made and the wiring and engine management would be a true nightmare. As stated above... you either need an older ('92-00 Civic) chassis OR find a rear-ended EP3 and move EVERYTHING over from the front of it to your 7G Civic chassis. Beyond the donor EP3, all you would need to buy would be an adapter harness, shifter and shift cables.
