Default Motor Swap?

What up, I drive a 98 EX. Got beat by a paseo and looking to fix that problem. Anyways, is a K20 into civic swap possible? Pros-Cons? Looking to be a little different. Thanks for any info.

check out hasport to see if they make motor mounts for your car...

pros - good strong engine
cons - gonna cost you a chunk of change

Get ahold of Brian Gillespie at Hasport. They have kits to install the K20 into an EK. However, plan on not being able to buy anything else for a while.

I just droped a b16 in my 1996 Ex coupe. Im not a mech. But with help from people on this site I was able to get it done by myself. It is a lot less costly. I would say b16 or b18. Is the best way to go

Depends on how much money you want to spend. For the money you'll be spending on the engine, mounts, and installation you'd be better off buying a b series. Besides it being a straight swap, you could build it, and boost it, and be different that way. All I know is that 350whp from a b series would be different where I live.

BTW, I've now done two k series swaps, both into 2001 civics.

No I've already decide that I'm doing the K20. I just need to start saving. Anyone know average retail on the motor? Hmotors is about 5500. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the ******** comment, and I have been. I decided that I could boost a b16 much easier... I'll wait until more of these swaps get done.
