Hello, I have been looking to do an engine swap into a 1996-2000 civic coupe or hatch and I would like some feedback on some ideas I had. I have literally no experience at all and would appreciate a few pointers.

I talked to a friend of mine and he told me about a really easy and cheap swap to put into a civic. It was a b16 but there are obviously different kinds of engines. My main question is, is there a swap I could do for around 2 to 3 grand and what would i need to do.

Like I said I have no experience when it comes to Hondas so if I could get some help I'd really appreciate it.
