Default Do work to a 96 Civic EX(motor and tranny swap) , or Just buy a GS-R

Guy's this is something i've been thinking about for a while now. Im probably going to inherit a 96 Civic EX from my dad with 65k miles. The only problem is I want more power and a manual tranny. Now I was talking to a friend who owns a GS-R and he says that people do this type of swap pretty often. Would it be worth my labor to have a EX with a DOHC vtec, or to just buy a GS-R.

GS-R is my preference because im definatly a beginner and that would be quite a job in my eyes.

What are your opinions.

The EX is auto so im guessing to go with the gs-r would be much better

I just sold my Civic with a LS motor for a GSR and I could not be happier! I say get the GSR hands down!
