the Crv is a great engine platform..especially if you can get ahold of a GSR or SI head...the reason why i say this..is that if you get an SI engine..complete swap...for $2500...and you pick a B20z or JDM B20...for about $800-$1000..and for another $500 or so have the SI head assembly put on the CRV block..you can get roughly 180 - 190hp and gobs of torque...this is whats commonly called a CRV tech...its a sick engine...check out more info if @...http://www.crvtec.com/ you will find just about everything you need to know about this kind of swap...:thumbup:
