Why not a H22A

It is an engine with tons of torque.
To settle the weight issue arguement, look here where they weigh a H, B, and D.

The h series uses cables instead of rods for shift linkage. Alot heavier than a b series and more money to swap in. I would go with a b16b, its not in every other hatch and its got alot of power. so like 95 civic asked; what are you plans for this car. If your boosting then i would go with an ls motor. but if going all motor the best would be b16b. imo.

Yeah the b20 is the cheappest but it is also the most expensive to build. I had one in my hatch and i blew it after 5 months and 15 lbs. I wanted to sleeve it and it was a shit load compared to other b series motors. I called darton to see how much sleeves would be and they said they didnt make them anymore because they had too many problems.



h: I still have my b16a swapped civic too...winter beater
