Seriously, this question is asked millions of times, and there are many factors to consider like what the car is going to be used for. N/a or Turbo? If you weren't so vague I might have answered seriously.

Please...everyone knows that big blocks don't compare to a viper engine in a civic. Now that will do some damage.

hey really try to research the engines, the b18c5 is a good engine but is it better than the h22a? well thats a personl decision, the h22a has more torque but lower revs. the h22a engine is cheaper but the install is more exspensive, the b18ct is an exspensive engine , but an easy install, the b18c1 is a cheaper engine with a little less power than the b18c5 and is easier to come across, install on it is easy as well. the b16 series is a great motor for all motor applications smaller bore but overall a strong motor , even less power thant the b18c1 but even cheaper, around 1600-1200. So in essence you need to make some decisions on your own and not buy an engine like you do your clothes. it's about what you want not what is popular or trendy.

Personally, I wanted instant power out of a stock engine at a reasonably price, I got the b18c1 GSR motor. It's a reliable swap, when done correct, and is quoted at 180hp (not whp).
