Default Swap on a TIGHT budget...

whats more worth it, get a ls/vtec swap in a month or two, or wait almost a year for a b18c1... i want speed now... and i want something i can work with a little... im leaning towards the ls/vtec but i still want a b18 (but i dont want to wait)

a friend of mine had no trouble putting in the h22a intoa 92 civic hatch, 13 second on street tires...
but since i didnt do it first hand, i guess i dont know all the problems there could be.
does a b18c1 drop right into a 95 civic?
and how much are u going to pay for your geezer?

GSR's and LS's more or less drop right into the 5th gen's.

On a tight budget I'd just drop an LS in for now. A full LSV done the right way gets pretty expensive. What are you future goals powerwise?

What about a straight LS swap. You can probably get one for less than $1500 if you look around.
