so i found a 97 civic chell for pretty cheap and was wondering what motor i could easily swap into it. By far the cheapest motor to buy to start with is the ls so i figured with another 2-300 bucks i could have it ls vtec which ive heard is stronger than a GSR?

what would be needed to mount the ls in the 97 civic...and would it realy be worth it power wise?

or should i scratch the ls.vtec idea and wait to find a cheap gsr?
