This is waaay too broad. There are too many engines that will fit to make it practical to post. Dozens of forums exist for hybrid swap info. Just about every engine that starts with a B or a D will fit, some years fit better than others, and picking the donor should revolve around how much work and cost is associated with making the engine fit.

If I can't sell my hatch for $2500 (running), I might swap a turbo Mitsubishi 4g63 into mine. You can make any engine fit in that chassis if you're crazy enough.

Check http://tech.hybridgarage.com/tech/5gtech/frog.html or try the search button.

...most of the links I have don't work anymore because I don't stay up on Honda tech like I used to.

Haltech!

If you 4G63 a Civic, I will be there to watch. I've been thinking about that swap for a while, but I'd never do it myself.
