I did mine for under $3500.
I'd say a D16y8. It's very inexpensive, and there's still a good amount of aftermarket support for it..

B18B or B20B/Z would be a great choice.

I'd say a B18B swap would be good.

Good call. And when you do save up for the glorious h22 swap, save up some more for mounts and a new clutch.........
