CBGB?

It would be easier to stay D series, but who does that? Oh yeah, I do...

ZC, LS/VTEC, b18....maybe a h22.... one of those probably.

just whatever you want to do, the CRX is pretty versatile.

it all comes down to how much power you want and how much money you're willing to spend. you'll have to give us more details.

also, dont forget to use the search button, as it can answer 95% of ALL questions

Cmon man.....by the sound of his question he is looking for the best bang-for-the-buck swap. H22 is not so easy, not so streetable, and handles like poo through the twisties. As far as the 1320 goes, **** yeah go H22 if the loot is readily available. For him at least, I'd say look no further than the classic b16 swap. Always gets my Oh yeah I see your in Philly; let us do your swap(regardless of what it may be)......TOP notch work, reasonable, and prompt. Look to my sig. for the contact.... We are only 1 hr. from Philly.

D series is ALWAYS easiest. ZC comes next, since it's just a BIG-*** D series... then the B series which you need special mounts for... get HAsport... if you're poor, go with the ZC, or the SOHC 1.5L VTEC... you can search better than that. But the best search, as far as driveability, cost, and fun factor is a basic B16. It's cool, fast, and you don't have to worry about getting parts. And don't even think about an H22... do not even utter the block code. Get all your stuff from http://www.hmotorsonline.com they're the best. Good luck...

And don't forget about the massive aftermarket support for the good ol' b16.

find someone with a civic ex and buy the old sohc vtec from them. or go b series. The zc is cool but if you're going to spend any kinda money then go with a b16 or ls. just my .02

I just think it the best to start out with a B- DOHC VTEC motor. Plus Steve at HMO is known to give some killer deals on COMPLETE swaps....he'll even give you knuckles. Because alot of peeps I know went ZC, and regetted because of the lack of aftermarket support and not having the power/wicked sound of VTEC at 5,200 rpm.
