What are you going to be swapping it into? you're looking at a pretty heavy motor. Some C32 i think for the legend. and its only around 200hp I think.

Surely if you have a civic with 109hp or some shit like that its great to get up near 200..but really..Its gonna be a bitch of a swap cause its a V6 motor and it's gonna take a lot of work. You're gonna need to get new mounts, entirely new everything basically.

If you want more power for cheap and you have a shit motor right now. you're better off going for a B series swap. or if you have a D, do a Mini-me to get the extra power out. So, basically swap the Y8 head and manifolds onto your current D if you have one.

or if its a B, try and save up the money for an LS/VTEC. B16 heads are only about $300 and then you're half way to an LS/VTEC.

but a swap from a legend or anythin like that is sorta ridiculous. Hate to spoil your fun.
